Keyboard shortcuts provide a quick way to navigate and allow users to work more efficiently. For users with mobility or vision disabilities, keyboard shortcuts can be easier than using the touchscreen, and are an essential alternative to using the mouse. The table in this article lists all the shortcuts available in Power Query Online.
When using the Query Editor in Power Query Online, you can navigate to the Keyboard shortcuts button in the Help tab to view the list of keyboard shortcuts.
Note
These shortcuts have been tested with Microsoft Edge on Windows and macOS. While we try to provide support for all browsers, other browsers can make or implement their own shortcuts. Because we can't control how other browsers behave, we can't guarantee that all the shortcuts in this list work on all browsers.
