Keyboard Shortcuts
Sumo Logic keyboard shortcuts are enabled by default. To view them, select Help > Keyboard shortcuts.
tip
You can also press the question‑mark key (?) anywhere outside a text field to open the shortcuts panel.
To disable keyboard shortcuts, for example, if they conflict with an international keyboard, click your name, select Preferences, then deselect Enable keyboard shortcuts.
Limitations
- Admin‑only pages. For security, shortcuts for some pages are visible only to Admin users.
- Search field. Keyboard shortcuts are disabled while you're typing in the search text box.
