Keyboard shortcuts

Every shortcut in Ladel, on one page.

Ladel has a small set of shortcuts that cover the things you do most: searching, sending a request to Haley, and deciding on candidates. On Windows and Linux, use Ctrl wherever this page shows ⌘.

Anywhere in Ladel#

Keys	What it does
`⌘` `K`	Opens or closes quick search: people, companies, chats, projects, or a pasted LinkedIn link. See Quick search.
`⌘` `B`	Folds the sidebar into a rail of icons, or opens it again.

Writing to Haley#

Keys	What it does
`Enter`	Sends your request or reply.
`Shift` `Enter`	Starts a new line without sending, for a longer brief.
`Esc`	When the results table is expanded to full width, returns to the chat. Same as Back to chat.

Reviewing candidates#

These work on a person’s profile when you’re working in a project. When you’re stepping through a list, each one also moves you to the next person. See Reviewing candidates.

Keys	What it does
`A`	Looks good: adds the person to the project’s shortlist.
`R`	Not a fit: marks the person not a fit for this project and takes them off its shortlist.

Filters#

In the filter boxes on the People and Companies pages, such as Job title or City or metro:

Keys	What it does
`↑` `↓`	Moves through the suggestions.
`Enter`	Picks the highlighted suggestion, or adds what you typed as a tag. A comma adds it too.
`Esc`	Closes the suggestions.
`Backspace`	In an empty box, removes the last tag.
`Enter`	In a number or text box, such as a minimum headcount, applies the value.

Quick search#

Keys	What it does
`↑` `↓`	Moves through the results.
`Enter`	Opens the highlighted result.
`Esc`	Closes quick search.

Editing names and details#

Chat titles, project names and project details like the role and location are edited in place.

Keys	What it does
`Enter`	Saves the change. Clicking away saves it too.
`Esc`	Cancels the change and puts back what was there.
