Working in Jira means constantly switching between tasks, boards and filters. Every time you have to search for the right section or perform repetitive actions, you waste precious time. But what if you could speed up the process and work more efficiently?

Hotkeys are one of the easiest ways to optimize your work. They allow you to:

  • Instantly switch between sections without using a mouse.
  • Quickly find and filter tasks.
  • Quickly create, edit and comment on tickets.
  • Reduce time on routine activities and focus on tasks.

For example, instead of spending a few seconds searching for the create task button, just press C and the ticket creation window opens instantly. And with G + G, you can navigate to any section of Jira in a couple of seconds without even moving your cursor.

Useful hotkeys in Jira (Windows & macOS)

Navigation:

  • G + G — quickly move between sections.
  • G + I — open the task list.
  • G + D — go to the board.

Working with tasks:

  • C — create a new task.
  • I — assign a task to yourself.
  • M — add a comment.
  • L — change labels.
  • S — subscribe to a task.

Filtering and search:

  • / — instantly search for tasks.
  • F — open the filter panel.
  • J/K — move between tasks in the list.
