Hotkeys in Power BI

[Dan_Ahlvin]

Enable and improve the hotkeys in Power BI. This would enable a much better user experience and accessibility. For example, [Control] + [Page Up] should send you to the next page. Another helpful Excel hotkey is to move charts pixel by pixel with the arrow keys. Finally the current Power BI hotkeys should be mapped to more sensible keys. For example, in Excel, if I press [Alt] then H (for Home), then S (for Sort&Filter), then F (for Filter), my selection of text will get filtered. Each letter is easy to remember and type because it's got a mnumonic that makes sense. In Power BI, if I press Alt then Y02 (for Modeling) then Y03 (for Y03 for new Column) I generate a new column. This is difficult to type (pressing alt, y, 0, 2, y, 0, 3) and also difficult to remember. Updating the hotkeys will significantly increase the usability of the Power BI.

I fully support it. Keyboard shortcuts are the "key" enabler for efficient work with the tool. Please include the map of supported shortcuts in documentation.

Brilliant. Hotkeys are what separate power users from the rest, without them it is difficult to make lots of changes to a dataset.

Need that for sure! Current hotkeys are insult!

[ryan_tanner]

how about a keyboard shortcut for ANY of the buttons on the modeling tab? anyone? bueller?

Yes much needed feature especially the [Control] + [Page Up] for navigating between pages...!!! and also the other hotkeys will save me so much effort from constantly navigating between keyboard and mouse.

Agree. It would be great to have hot keys keyboard shortcuts that would allow you to go straight to the Search Bar in Fields and Select those using keyboard to be added to the existing chart.

a "repeat step" for column formatting button would also be helpful

[lisadb]

Yes, yes, yes. Much needed.

Absolutely! It looks like the current hotkeys are carried over from Power Pivot & Query when both ribbons were part of excel and other hotkeys were taken. Not the case in PBI desktop though..
