Azure Data Explorer web UI keyboard shortcuts
Keyboard shortcuts provide a quick way to navigate websites, and allow users to work more efficiently. Instead of using a pointing device, you use keys, or combinations of keys, to run tasks. This article lists Windows keyboard shortcuts that work in the Azure Data Explorer web UI query editor window and results grid.
The following letters represent letter keys on your keyboard. For example, to use G+N, hold down the G key and then press N. If the command is Ctrl+K Ctrl+X, keep pressing Ctrl, and simultaneously press K and then X.
