I’m not so used to Bitwarden yet, and something I really enjoy to make use of are some keyboard shortcuts. So I came along to ask for a cheatsheet of Bitwarden’s current keyboard shortcuts. Either for Chrome/Firefox/Windows/Linux/etc.
We could keep this post updated with newer keyboard shortcuts that can be implemented with time.
Tell your suggestions and thoughts about this here, I’ll be glad to hear from y’all.
What keyboard shortcuts especially are you missing? Personally I only use CTRL+SHIFT+L which autofills the username and password using the last credentials used for that page, this info can be found under “KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS (HOT KEYS)” segment of the help file here https://help.bitwarden.com/article/auto-fill-browser/
Okay, so after installing it on Desktop and other platforms (such as told in this thread), here’s what I’ve found:
Desktop app shortcuts:
File: Ctrl + N → New entry Ctrl + , → App settings Ctrl + L → Lock session
Edit: Ctrl + Z → Undo Ctrl + Y → Redo Ctrl + X → Cut Ctrl + C → Copy Ctrl + V → Paste Ctrl + A → Select all
View: Ctrl + F → Search in vault Ctrl + G → Password generator
(Suggested for future updates: Ctrl + H → Password history) Ctrl + = → Zoom in Ctrl + - (minus) → Zoom out Ctrl + 0 → Default zoom F11 → Full screen Ctrl + Shift + R → Refresh app F12 → Developer options
Account: Nothing to list here.
(Suggested for future updates: Ctrl + Alt + B or Ctrl + Alt/Shift + V → Open web vault [as talked here])
Window: Ctrl + M → Minimize Ctrl + Shift + M → Send to tray Ctrl + W → Close window
Chrome Extension: Ctrl + Shift + L → Fill in last login Ctrl + Shift + Y → Open extension pop up.
However, as told on that help page, on Chrome it is possible to set custom keyboard shortcuts. I’m not sure if it will sync with my Google account, though. But it would be great if we had standards for these shortcuts on all apps, for example.
Note: I’m not telling that keyboard shortcuts need to be remapped. It’s just that having all of them as standards on all platforms would be a better deal, for global purposes.
As you can see, many of these shortcuts are well known for Windows apps in general.
