Keyboard shortcuts

The command menu, the context-aware C shortcut, and the other real keyboard shortcuts built into NeoKivo.

Updated 2026-07-06

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 (Inbox, Focus, Pipeline, People, Companies, 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; everywhere else, including Companies, it opens the new-deal dialog. There is no separate shortcut for creating a company.

Inline edits (renaming a stage, a custom field, or a pipeline column) follow the same convention throughout the app: Enter saves, Escape cancels.
