# Terminal keyboard shortcuts for fast execution

> Suggested keyboard shortcuts for the QuantDesk terminal to focus panels, open order tickets, cancel orders safely, and toggle between Lite and Pro views.

# Terminal shortcuts

Use shortcuts to reduce execution friction during active sessions.

## Principles

* Keep high-frequency actions one key away
* Favor consistency over novelty
* Avoid shortcuts that create accidental order risk

## Suggested default shortcuts

| Action                           | Suggested key       |
| -------------------------------- | ------------------- |
| Open order ticket                | `O`                 |
| Focus order book                 | `B`                 |
| Focus chart panel                | `C`                 |
| Focus positions                  | `P`                 |
| Cancel selected order            | `Backspace`         |
| Cancel all open orders (confirm) | `Shift + Backspace` |
| Toggle Lite / Pro view           | `T`                 |

## Safety notes

* Require confirmation for destructive actions
* Keep `cancel all` distinct from `cancel one`
* Test shortcuts on devnet before relying on them in live workflows
