Keyboard shortcuts
Most things in WP Instances can be done from the keyboard. Single keys act on the selected site.
Single-key shortcuts are ignored while you're typing in a field or while a dialog or menu is open. Ctrl+K works everywhere.
Command bar
Ctrl+K puts the cursor in the search field in the title bar. Type to find:
- Sites: pick one to select it.
- Actions on the selected site: the same actions as the keys below, plus Switch to PHP … for every other PHP version, and Delete site….
- General: New site…, Settings — ports, Refresh, Toggle light / dark, About WP Instances and License.
A result matches when it contains every word you type, for example switch 7.4.
