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](/docs/search/get-started-with-search/search-page/).
