# GitLab keyboard shortcuts **(FREE)**

GitLab has several keyboard shortcuts you can use to access its different
features.

To display a window in GitLab that lists its keyboard shortcuts, use one of the
following methods:

- Press <kbd>?</kbd>.
- In the Help menu in the top right of the application, select **Keyboard shortcuts**.

Although [global shortcuts](#global-shortcuts) work from any area of GitLab,
you must be in specific pages for the other shortcuts to be available, as
explained in each section.

## Global shortcuts

These shortcuts are available in most areas of GitLab:
