Keyboard Shortcuts
Last updated: Apr 17, 2026
We’ve included several keyboard shortcuts to help you work quickly in Vault, especially within the Doc Info page and when modifying document fields. These shortcuts are available for all of Vault’s supported browsers, but not on mobile devices. Vault keyboard shortcuts are based on the US keyboard layout for Windows and MacOS operating systems. Some shortcuts might not work for all languages or keyboards.
To disable keyboard shortcuts, open the Keyboard Shortcut dialog and select the Disable Keyboard Shortcuts checkbox. Vault remembers this selection for future sessions.
If a Vault keyboard shortcut does not appear to work as expected, check any installed browser extensions for conflicting keyboard shortcuts.
