What's the keyboard shortcut to enter viewing mode from editing mode?

[lizhongliang_genomics]

I know I can press E to start editing a page. But once I'm done with editing, how can I

enter viewing mode from editing mode by pressing my keyboard only?

If this shortcut is missing, will it be created soon?

Hi @lizhongliang_genomics 

You can do CTRL + Enter to save your change.

CTRL + Shift + E will send you to the preview mode.

Thanks for lending me a hand, @Florian Bonniec . But, I see a need to improve the current user experience. I had to ask for help the other day because:

• I think the Confluence Team should consider renaming this shortcut key. "Preview" isn't equivalent to "Exit editing mode" or "Enter viewing mode".
• To make things worse, the quickest method (Press Ctrl + / (Windows) or command + / (Mac) when editing a page) to view "all" Confluence keyboard shortcuts won't let users find out this shortcut. https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/keyboard-shortcuts-markdown-and-autocomplete/

I just submitted the following ticket to get this issue fixed, so that other users are less likely to have the same trouble as me.

Hi @lizhongliang_genomics 

We can get all the existing shortcuts through pressing key Shift + ?

Thanks, @YY Brother . But this issue isn't as simple as we thought. See the preceding replies of mine for more details.

A new feature named Live Page will be released next year, which might be what you want.

Hey lizhongliang_genomics,

If you are talking about "View Issue" while editing then we use "O" on both Windows and MAC.

You can check "Jira Keyboard Shortcuts" for complete info,

Thanks
