Using keyboard shortcuts in your IT service desk

Freshservice helps you navigate your way around your service desk easily by using keyboard shortcuts. These shortcuts can be used to perform repetitive tasks quickly and manage the properties of tickets on the fly. For example, you could move between tickets, assign a ticket to an agent or delete tickets in your service desk by using key combinations inside Freshservice. You can use these shortcuts with a Standard 101/102-Key or Natural PS/2 Keyboard.
