## 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.

## Facts

- **Full list:** ? in the admin, Cmd/Ctrl + / in the theme editor
- **Search:** Cmd+K / Ctrl+K
- **Sequences:** Keys in order, within ~1 second
- **Plan:** Every plan
- **Last checked:** 2 November 2026

## How to use it

1. Click on an empty part of the admin page (not in a text field) and press ?.
2. Pick the three or four shortcuts you’d use daily from the list; Esc closes it.
3. Use Cmd/Ctrl+K to jump to any order, product, customer or setting.
4. In the theme editor, press Cmd/Ctrl+/ for the editor’s shortcuts (sections, preview tools, navigation).

```text
# Shopify admin
?                  show every admin shortcut (Esc closes the list)
Ctrl+K / Cmd+K     open admin search
/                  in the search bar: list search filters
A then P           add a product (keys in order, within about 1 second)

# Theme editor
Ctrl+/ / Cmd+/     show every theme editor shortcut

# Bulk editor
Arrow keys         move between cells
Shift + click      select a range of cells
Alt + click (PC), Cmd + click (Mac)   select separate cells
Esc                close a cell's barcode list
```

## 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.
