Confluence provides the following keyboard shortcuts for English users. The letters may change in other languages.
Note that 'Alt' is the modifier key for Internet Explorer on Windows, except when using the Rich Text Editor – in that case it's 'Ctrl'. Other browsers have different modifier keys to activate the shortcuts. Please see the section on modifier keys below.

In the Rich Text Editor, the shortcut key modifier is different from the regular page shortcut key. For example:
- In Internet Explorer on Windows, 'Alt' is the modifier key except when using the Rich Text Editor – in that case it's 'Ctrl'.
- In Safari, the general page shortcut key is 'Ctrl', but when using the Rich Text Editor the shortcut key is 'Command'.
Note: In Internet Explorer, links will only be highlighted when you press a shortcut key – you will need to press Enter to proceed. Buttons, however, are activated through the shortcut.
