Keyboard shortcuts for next and prev issue dont work when viewing an issue

Question

On the Project -> Issues -> Open Issues view, the j and k keys work to scroll up and down the issue list, with o to open the issue.

One would expect the j and k keys to work, to move to next and prev issues, but they do not.  Other keys like [, w and i work, so unsure what is wrong .

are there some other shortcuts to move to next issue, after it's open?

is there a shortcut to return to the list view ?

Hi again @Mahesh Khambadkone ,

Well, when you go to the Issues at the left sidebar the shortcuts will act as navigator -> down and up.

Try to go at the Board and then click on any issue and use К and J. In my case, this is working and the issues are moving -> next & previous

Unfortunately, this is not helpful.

Here's the use-case :

* I tap on the Issues Tab on the sidebar,
* open any of the lists (e.g. Reported by me)
* A list appears, and the k and j keys work, to scroll up and down through the list
* When I tap on o to open the issue, the issue opens, replacing the list.
* Shortcuts 'i', 'm' and 'a' work, but there is no shortcut to move through the next item from the list in (3) , nor can I easily close the Issue view and return to the List view of 3.

Am I missing something ?

Hi @Mahesh Khambadkone

Here is the link for Jira Keyboard Shortcuts

Have in mind the following:

"The new Jira issue view supports a limited set of keyboard shortcuts (o to open the selected issue, a to assign the issue to someone, i to assign an issue to yourself, or m to quickly add a comment) for editing and updating issues. It also supports navigation with keyboard shortcuts (J = down, K = up, N = next column, and P = previous column"

I found out that if you are on viewing a board or list with issues, K and J are working as navigators -> scrolling up and down

If you look at a particular issue on quick view, the K and J are working as you need -> moving to previous and next issues.

The full list of the keyboard shortcuts can be seen here:

I hope this will be useful for you!
