In short
Press ? anywhere in the Shopify admin to see every keyboard shortcut for your store. The ones worth learning first: Cmd+K (Mac) or Ctrl+K (PC) opens admin search, / inside search lists the filters, and sequences such as A then P add a product; press the keys in order within about a second. In the theme editor, Cmd+/ or Ctrl+/ shows its own list.
How to use it
- Click on an empty part of the admin page (not in a text field) and press ?.
- Pick the three or four shortcuts you’d use daily from the list; Esc closes it.
- Use Cmd/Ctrl+K to jump to any order, product, customer or setting.
- In the theme editor, press Cmd/Ctrl+/ for the editor’s shortcuts (sections, preview tools, navigation).

Limits and edge cases
- Shortcuts are key sequences: for A then P, typing P then A does nothing.
- The list in the admin is the source of truth; Shopify adds and changes shortcuts, so check it rather than old blog lists.
- Admin search shows 7 results at first; Show more lists up to 20 more at a time.
