Overview
Expensify Classic supports keyboard shortcuts Shift+G and Shift+P. These should be implemented in the new App to maintain feature parity as an existing customer has asked for them.
Current Behavior
Keyboard shortcuts Shift+G and Shift+P are not available in the new Expensify App.
Expected Behavior
- Shift+G – Prompts the user for a Report ID and navigates directly to that report's page (quick-jump by report ID).
- Shift+P – When on a report page, navigates to the workspace/policy associated with that report.
As discussed in Slack, we will change these for New Expensify to:
- CMD+U - Opens the cmd+k switcher with
type:expense-report reportid: entered waiting for the report ID
- CMD+B - Opens the workspace overview when viewing an expense report linked to that workspace
Platform
Notes
- These shortcuts exist in Expensify Classic (
keyboardShortcutsDialogMainViewTemplate.html in Web-Expensify) and should be supported in the new App for users who rely on keyboard-driven navigation.
- CMD = Ctrl in Windows
- CMD was chosen over Shift as there are a lot more compose boxes you would not be able to use Shift+ reliably in New Expensify and
U and B aren't yet taken by the browser natively.
- If users are desperate to return to Shift+ shortcuts, we can come back to this, or we can encourage using some remapping key software internally.
- Whilst CMD+U will not directly open the report, it will get there quicker.
