You type the same command every day. Stop typing it.
You check for plugin updates three times a week. You view active visitors after every newsletter send. You create a backup before every deployment. Each time: open navigator, type the command, press enter. It's fast, but it could be instant.
Keyboard shortcuts turn any command into a key combination. Press +U and the plugin update list appears. Press +B and a backup starts. Press +V and you see who's on your site right now. No navigator, no typing, no thinking.
How to create a shortcut
-remove_old for backups).That's it. The shortcut works on every admin page immediately.
Shortcuts worth creating
Not every command needs a shortcut. These are the ones you'll actually press daily:
| Shortcut | Command | Why |
|---|---|---|
| +B | Create backup | One keystroke before any risky change |
| +U | Check plugin updates | Quick update check from any page |
| +V | View active visitors | Instant traffic check after campaigns |
| +D | Debug mode | Toggle error capture while debugging |
| +L | Scan broken links | Quick link audit from any page |
Shortcuts include parameters. When you bind create backup -remove_old to +B, the -remove_old flag is baked into the shortcut. One keypress runs the full command with parameters — no prompts, no typing.
Works on every admin page
Shortcuts are global. +B works whether you're on the dashboard, editing a post, configuring WooCommerce shipping, or reviewing orders. You don't need to navigate anywhere first. The command runs in the background and the result appears in the navigator overlay.
For commands that produce output (like visitor count or update list), the navigator opens automatically to show the result. For commands that just do something (like create a backup), a notification confirms completion.
Platform-aware key hints
TrueCommander detects your operating system and shows the right modifier key. Mac users see ⌘. Windows and Linux users see Ctrl. The shortcuts page and navigator hints adapt automatically — no confusion about which key to press.
