Hi Frank,

In Jira, if you're looking to quickly start using JQL (Jira Query Language) to search for issues, you can use the following keyboard shortcut:

Keyboard Shortcut:

g + i

This combination will bring you directly to the issue navigator, where you can start typing your JQL queries.

Steps to Use the Shortcut:

1. Press g: This triggers the global navigation shortcuts in Jira.
2. Press i: This takes you to the Issue Navigator, which is the main search interface in Jira.

Once you're in the Issue Navigator, you can switch to the JQL mode if it's not already active, and start entering your query. If you're using the Basic search mode, you can switch to the Advanced mode (JQL) by clicking on "Advanced" near the search bar.
