# 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**.
In [GitLab 12.8 and later](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/22113),
you can disable keyboard shortcuts by using the **Keyboard shortcuts** toggle
at the top of the keyboard shortcut window.
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.
