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.
Search
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.
