Panels can be configured to be floating in the editor space or docked to sides of the screen. If the Shortcuts panel is currently in a group of docked panels, use the Shortcuts tab located at the bottom of the grouping to bring it to the front.

Panel Content

The Shortcuts panel is populated with the list of shortcuts that apply to the currently open and focused document in the workspace. By keeping the panel visible on the desktop, the most relevant set of shortcut commands will be available while working on different types of documents.

While editing a document, the panel will also display a list of shortcuts that apply to a current interactive command in the Schematic or PCB editor.

When a command is running, for example after selecting Home | Circuit Elements | 

to place a wire on a schematic, the panel will list all of the valid shortcuts for that stage of the interactive command.

To find a shortcut key by its name or keystrokes rather than its function, use the list configuration options at the top of the panel to sort the content as required. The shortcut list can be sorted by descriptive name, function category or literal shortcut keys.
