Keyboard shortcuts in Cobrief

On Mac, use Cmd. On Windows, use Ctrl.

Find your way with the command palette

Press Cmd+K on Mac or Ctrl+K on Windows to open the command palette.

  1. Type what you want to find, such as “Calendar”, “Tasks” or “Your profile”.

  2. Use the arrow keys to select a result.

  3. Press Enter to open it, or Esc to close the palette.

The palette brings together navigation, settings and actions. You can also open recent tenders, continue searching in the tender database or select Ask AI agent. The available actions depend on the page you are on and your access.

Open the AI agent

Press Cmd+J on Mac or Ctrl+J on Windows to open or close the agent panel.

When you have selected text in a bid document, the same shortcut opens the AI menu for that text. If this menu is already open, the shortcut closes it.

Cmd+A or Ctrl+A expands the selection in stages. It first selects the content of the block, then the section and finally the whole document. In a table, the selection starts in the cell and expands to the table.

Create headings and lists as you type

On an empty line outside tables, you can use these shortcuts:

  • Press Space to open the AI menu.

  • Type / to open the menu with headings, lists and other options.

  • Type *, - or +, followed by Space, to create a bullet list.

  • Type 1., followed by Space, to create a numbered list.

  • Type #, ##, ### or ####, followed by Space, to create a level 1, 2, 3 or 4 heading.

  • Type --- to create a horizontal divider.

In a list, use Tab to increase the indent and Shift+Tab to decrease it.
