Keyboard shortcuts

The keyboard shortcuts in Hireway: the command bar, Documents, the resume and letter editors, text formatting, the assistant and proposed edits.

This page lists the keyboard shortcuts in Hireway, grouped by where they work.

On a Mac, use ⌘ (Command). On Windows and Linux, use Ctrl wherever this page shows ⌘. The app's tooltips and buttons show the Mac symbols on every system.

Shortcuts made of a single key, such as N or 1, don't work while you're typing in a text field, so they never get in the way of your writing. Shortcuts with ⌘ work everywhere.

Everywhere

Shortcut	What it does
`⌘` `K`	Open or close the command bar.
`Esc`	Close the command bar.
`↑` `↓`, `Enter`	In the command bar, move between rows and run the selected one.

Documents, Applications and Settings

Shortcut	What it does
`N`	Open the New document dialog.
`/`	Jump to the search box on Documents.
`Enter`	Save a document name while renaming it on its card.
`Esc`	Cancel renaming a document on its card.

Resume editor

Shortcut	What it does
`1`	Switch to Write.
`2`	Switch to Design.
`3`	Switch to Check.
`⌘` `Z`	Undo your last change.
`⇧` `⌘` `Z`	Redo.
`Ctrl` `Y`	Redo (Windows and Linux).
`⌘` `P`	Download the PDF. This replaces the browser's print dialog; to print, use Print in the document menu.
`⇧` `⌘` `S`	Open Share & export on the Link tab.
`⇧` `⌘` `E`	Open Share & export on the Download tab.
`⌘` `J`	Open or close the assistant.
`⌘` `0`	Fit the page to the window.
`⌘` `S`	Nothing to do: a message reminds you that changes are saved automatically.
`Esc`	Clear the block selected on the page. In Design, also stop previewing a template.
`⌥` `↑` / `⌥` `↓`	With a section or entry title focused in Write, move it up or down (use `Alt` on Windows and Linux).

While your cursor is in a text field, ⌘ Z and ⇧ ⌘ Z undo and redo your typing in that field instead of the last change to the resume.

The download and share shortcuts do nothing while you're offline, because they need a connection.

Letter editor

Shortcut	What it does
`1`	Switch to Write.
`2`	Switch to Design.
`⌘` `P`	Download the PDF.
`⇧` `⌘` `E`	Open Share & export on the Download tab.
`⌘` `J`	Open or close the assistant.
`⌘` `0`	Fit the page to the window.
`⌘` `S`	Send any unsaved edits right away, with a reminder that changes are saved automatically.

Formatting text

These work in rich text boxes, such as a summary or an entry's description. See Formatting text for the toolbar.

Shortcut	What it does
`⌘` `B`	Bold.
`⌘` `I`	Italic.
`⇧` `⌘` `8`	Bulleted list.
`⇧` `⌘` `7`	Numbered list.

Shortcut	What it does
`↑` / `↓`	Move to the previous or next edit.

`R`	Reject the focused edit.

Using the command bar: search, jump anywhere and ask the assistant from one box.
