Search and keyboard shortcuts

Search is one box that finds your services, every page of the dashboard, the pages of your organization and the common actions. The sidebar and search read the same list of pages, so a page that is in one is in the other (The dashboard).

Press Ctrl K, or ⌘ K on a Mac, anywhere in the dashboard. Press it again to close search.

You can also:

• Press / when the cursor is not in a field.
• Select Search at the top of the sidebar.
• Select the search box in the top bar, which reads Search services and pages. On a narrow screen it is a search icon.

Press Esc to close search. Focus goes back to where you were.

The list has four groups:

Recent

The last five pages and records you opened. A record is a service or an organization you chose in search. We keep them for your account on this browser only, so another person on the same computer sees their own.

Services

Five of your services.

Pages

Every page you can open, with a count beside the pages that need you.

Actions

The things you can do from here, listed below.

The line under the list reminds you that > shows actions and that g then a letter jumps to a page.

Every word you type has to match. Search finds names, the start of any word in a name, initials and related words, so s3 finds Object Storage. It marks the letters that matched and lists the best matches first in each group:

Recent

Pages and records you opened before that match.

Pages

Pages that match. A page that needs you shows its count instead of the word Page, such as 2 overdue.

This organization

The pages of your organization, written as Settings › Storefront with the organization's name beside them, and your organizations by name. This group shows only when you own or work in an organization, and not while you work in another account. Choosing an organization opens its Overview.

Services

Your services, by name, product or service ID. Choosing one opens its product's page, or its page under Subscriptions when the product has none.

Actions

The actions that match.

A group with no match does not show.

Start with > to see only actions. Type words after it to narrow them, such as > floating.

Search says Nothing matches and what you typed, and offers two ways on: Open a ticket, which opens a new conversation with the Coritan team (Start a conversation), and Open help, which opens the help drawer (Help).

Every page in the sidebar, and these pages that the sidebar does not list:

• Subscriptions, which opens the Subscriptions tab of Billing.
• Usage and cost, which opens the Usage tab of Billing.
• Once account plans open on your account, Your plan, which opens the Plan tab of Plan and billing, then Support and Reseller program.

Order shortcuts

New deployment, Order Cloud Compute, Order a floating IP, Order Mail Hosting and Create Object Storage. A product that is open to your account also has its own shortcut: Order SMTP Relay, Order a DDoS Shield profile, Order Snapshot Storage, Connect an external server and Register a domain. Order a dedicated sending IP shows only when one of your SMTP Relays is on a plan that can take one, and opens its order page for that relay (Order a dedicated sending IP).

Account shortcuts

Add credit, Pay invoices, Set a budget, Open a ticket, Open webmail and API keys.

Plan shortcuts

Once account plans open on your account: Change plan…, which opens the Plan tab, Add mailboxes and Open help. Add mailboxes opens the Overview of the email your plan includes, where its Add mailboxes dialog opens, because you add an add-on on the service it raises (Add capacity to a service). When search cannot find that email yet, it opens the Email list instead.

↑ and ↓

Move through the results. At the end of the list they wrap to the other end.

Page Up and Page Down

Move eight results at a time.

Home and End

Jump to the first or the last result while the field is empty. With text in the field they move the cursor, as in any field.

Enter

Open the highlighted result.

Esc

Close search.

Focus stays in the field the whole time, so you can keep typing to narrow the list.

Press g, then a letter within one second, to open a page.

A shortcut opens a page only when the page is open to your account, so a product you cannot order has no key. Before account plans open, g r opens nothing while the sidebar shows your organization.

The keys do not work while the cursor is in a field, while a dialog is open, or while you hold Ctrl, ⌘ or Alt. Point at an entry in the sidebar to see its keys, such as Home (g then h).
