keyboard shortcuts for switching between boards

Question

Using the trello app on windows I notice that ctrl+number mostly switches between boards, but I can't find any documentation on the feature, and it seems inconsistent. I have a favourite board that I can't find the number for (it's alphabetically first).

Does anyone know the details of this shortcut?

I know that pressing b brings up a fairly quick way to switch between boards, but I really like the single shortcut of ctrl+ number for being able to go back and forth between my most important boards. I just can't figure out how the numbers are assigned, and why I can seem to get my favourite one to fit in.

Hey :)  Thanks for the tip! It does seem to work for me too! :)

That's really helpful Héloïse, I hadn't seen that there was a menu thing that displayed what was on the list!

I've starred the boards I use the most, which puts them on the favourites list. It's not so hard to shift the order of the boards on the favourites (drag and drop) and that seems to set number for the shortcut (you might need to restart the app to update the list).

Hi there!
It may or may not help but you can see the list of those shortcuts in Menu>Boards.

I don't get how those are chosen either, though. And they do change without reasons I can understand. Actually, most of the boards in my own shortcuts are boards that I can't access. Ideally, we could decide what shortcurt leads to which board, but I couldn't find any option for that either.

Best,
