Keyboard shortcuts

You can get around Renewly without a mouse. This page lists the shortcuts and explains how Renewly works with a keyboard or a screen reader.

Quick search is the fastest way to find a contract or jump to a page. It looks through your contracts by title, vendor, parties and tags. It also lists pages such as Contracts, Analytics, Calendar, Inbox and Settings.

  • Ctrl + K (Windows) or Cmd + K (Mac): open quick search.
  • Up and down arrows: move between results.
  • Home and End: jump to the first or last result.
  • Enter: open the selected result.
  • Escape: close quick search.

General navigation

These standard keys work across Renewly:

  • Tab: move to the next button, link or field.
  • Shift + Tab: move back to the previous one.
  • Enter: press the selected button or open the selected link.
  • Escape: close a pop-up window, menu or quick search.
  • Arrow keys: move up and down inside menus and lists.

Accessibility features

Renewly is built so that people who use a keyboard or a screen reader can use it too.

Keyboard use

  • Buttons, links and fields can be reached with the keyboard.
  • A visible outline shows which item is selected.
  • Tab moves through the page in the order you see it.

Screen reader support

A screen reader is software that reads the screen aloud. Renewly labels its pages, buttons and icons so screen readers can describe them. It also announces changes, such as a message that appears after you save.

Skip links

  • Press Tab when a page first opens to show a "Skip to main content" link.
  • Press Enter on it to jump past the menu straight to the page content.

Pop-up windows

  • When a pop-up window opens, Tab stays inside it until you close it.
  • When it closes, you return to the button that opened it.
Accessibility standard
Renewly is designed to follow the WCAG 2.1 Level AA guidelines, a widely used accessibility standard. This covers things like colour contrast, keyboard use and screen reader support.
