You can use keyboard shortcuts to quickly perform common actions in the user interface.
The keyboard shortcuts that display in the modal are specific to the screen you’re viewing. Keyboard shortcuts depend on the browser and operating system that you’re
using. The Linux operating system is not currently supported.
To enable keyboard shortcuts for your instance, see Configure Next Experience accessibility preferences.
