Keyboard Shortcuts
The Hyvä CMS Liveview Editor has keyboard shortcuts for the actions content editors use most: saving, publishing, undo and redo, and opening the main panels. Shortcuts are customizable per admin user and are saved with your editor preferences.
In the shortcuts below, Mod means Cmd on macOS and Ctrl on Windows and Linux.
Available since Hyvä CMS 1.2.0

Save draft and publish work even while your cursor is inside a text field, so you can save without clicking away first. The remaining shortcuts are ignored while typing so they do not interfere with content entry.
Shortcuts work from the preview too
Keyboard shortcuts still fire when your focus is inside the storefront preview. The editor and preview communicate through the Liveview Bridge, which forwards keystrokes from the preview iframe back to the editor.
Customizing Keyboard Shortcuts
Every shortcut can be remapped per admin user.
- Open Editor Preferences (
Mod+,by default, or through the Hyvä menu). - Select the Keybindings tab.
- Click a shortcut and press the new key combination to record it.
- Use Reset on a single binding, or Reset All, to return to the defaults.
- Save your preferences.
The editor detects duplicate shortcuts and prevents you from saving two actions bound to the same combination. Custom shortcuts are stored per user, so each admin can tailor the editor to their own workflow without affecting others.
Shortcuts are platform-aware
Defaults adapt to your operating system. Where a binding uses Mod, the editor shows Cmd on macOS and Ctrl elsewhere. Redo defaults to Ctrl + Y on Windows and Linux and Cmd + Shift + Z on macOS.
