Keyboard Shortcuts & Triggers
Most features are launched from the ⚡ side button menu rather than global hotkeys, so they never collide with Salesforce’s own shortcuts. One feature has a dedicated, configurable keyboard shortcut.
Keyboard shortcut
| Action | Shortcut | Configurable? |
|---|---|---|
| Open Canvas Search in Flow Builder | Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+F | Yes — set shortcut under canvas-search in Settings |
Inside Canvas Search, Enter cycles through matches and the canvas pans to centre each one.
The ⚡ side button
The side button mounts in the top frame only on Salesforce Lightning and Setup pages. It does not appear on non-Salesforce pages, and it does not appear inside classic Visualforce iframes.
Clicking it opens a menu pinned to its left. The menu lists only the features relevant to the current context:
| Context | Example menu items |
|---|---|
| Generic Setup | Setup Tabs, Scheduled Flow Explorer, Trigger Conflicts, Subflow Caller Graph, SOQL Runner, Org Limits |
| Setup → Flows list | Flow List Search, plus the Setup items above |
| Flow Details (classic VF) | Flow Version Manager |
| Flow Builder canvas | Canvas Search, Show Missing Descriptions, Run Health Check, AI Assistant, API Name Generator, Deploy / Rollback |
| Compare Flows | Comparison Exporter |
| Record / Object Manager | Inspect Record, Data Import, Field Creator, Export Schema for Prompt |
SPA navigation
Salesforce is a single-page app. When you navigate — for example from Setup to Object Manager — the menu refreshes to match the new context without a full page reload.
Open the Workspace tab (side menu → Open Workspace ↗) to reach tools like Apex Anonymous, Debug Log Viewer, and Saved SOQL in a dedicated tab. See The Workspace Tab.
