Keyboard shortcuts
The command menu, the context-aware C shortcut, and the other real keyboard shortcuts built into NeoKivo.
Updated 2026-07-21
NeoKivo has a small set of keyboard shortcuts, all active once you're signed in. Nothing here is a UI hint without a handler behind it — every shortcut below is wired to a real action.
The command menu
Press ⌘K (or Ctrl+K on Windows and Linux) anywhere in the app to open the command menu. It works even while you're typing in a field. From there you can search deals, contacts, and companies; jump to any section (Notifications, Home, Pipeline, Contacts, Companies, Talent, Finance, Reports, Settings, Import & export); create a new deal or person; switch the theme; or sign out. On a deal's page, the menu also adds deal-specific actions like moving it to another stage or marking it won or lost. Escape closes the menu.
The C shortcut
Press C anywhere outside a text field to create something new. What it creates depends on where you are: on the People pages it opens the new-contact dialog; on the Companies pages it opens the new-company dialog, if you have permission to create companies; everywhere else it opens the new-deal dialog.
Without the company.create permission, C on Companies falls back to opening the new-deal dialog instead — the same thing it does everywhere else outside People.
| Shortcut | Action | Where |
|---|---|---|
| ⌘K / Ctrl+K | Open or close the command menu | Anywhere |
| C | New contact | People pages |
| C | New company (falls back to new deal without company.create) | Companies pages |
| C | New deal | Everywhere else |
| ⌘J / Ctrl+J | Open or close the Copilot assistant rail | Anywhere the assistant is enabled |
| ↑ / ↓ | Move the selection up or down a list | People, Companies |
| Enter | Open the selected row | Same list pages |
| ⌘Enter / Ctrl+Enter | Send | Activity composer, email compose dialog |
| Space | Toggle the checkbox on the selected row | People |
| Escape | Clear the current multi-select | People |
| Escape | Close the open dialog | Any dialog |
Inline edits (renaming a stage, a custom field, or a pipeline column) follow the same convention throughout the app: Enter saves, Escape cancels.
