# Keyboard shortcuts

Keyboard shortcuts are a core part of Fluid’s speed-first design.\
They remove clicks, reduce context switching, and let you act on deals the moment you see them.

Shortcuts are optional, but for users who handle many conversations daily, they dramatically reduce friction.

***

### Available keyboard shortcuts

Fluid supports a small set of focused shortcuts designed around deal execution.

The following shortcuts work when a deal card is visible or hovered:

* **D**\
  Create a new deal
* **E**\
  Edit the deal currently under your cursor
* **R**\
  Set or change a reminder for the deal under your cursor
* **W**\
  Open the website link associated with the deal
* **S**\
  Open the social media link associated with the deal
* **C**\
  Open a conversation link such as email thread, WhatsApp link or LinkedIn conversation

These shortcuts are intentionally limited to avoid cognitive overload.

***

### Website and social media shortcuts

The **W** and **S** shortcuts open links stored on the deal.

You can place links in:

* Website fields
* Custom fields
* Any deal field configured to hold a URL

This allows you to:

* Open a company website instantly
* Jump to LinkedIn or other social profiles
* Review context without leaving the Deals board

This is especially useful during:

* Follow-up sessions
* Call preparation
* Pipeline reviews
* Negotiation or proposal stages

***

### Who keyboard shortcuts are for

Keyboard shortcuts are most valuable for users who:

* Manage many active deals at once
* Do outbound or high-volume sales
* Work primarily from the Deals board
* Want to minimize mouse usage
* Prefer fast, repeatable workflows

For these users, shortcuts turn the Deals board into an execution surface rather than a navigation screen.

***

### When to rely on shortcuts

Shortcuts are ideal when:

* You are processing follow-ups in sequence
* You want to edit or update multiple deals quickly
* You need to open external context without breaking focus
* You want to stay in a flow state

They are not required to use Fluid, but they reward repetition and familiarity.

***

### What keyboard shortcuts are not

Keyboard shortcuts are not:

* Fully customizable
* Meant to cover every action
* A replacement for the UI

They exist to accelerate the most common actions only.

***

### What to read next

* Deals overview – working from the Deals board
* Deal reminders – follow-up execution
* Search and filtering – narrowing focus fast
