Keyboard Shortcuts

Forum Bap provides a number of keyboard shortcuts users can use to easily navigate through the website, access features, control the functions, perform actions, bookmark topics, etc. Keyboard shortcuts can greatly enhance the usability of our platform.

Unlike the traditional method of binding keys with the plus sign (+), most of our keyboard shortcuts use the comma (,). But of course, it depends on a specific function or feature. So, carefully look at the character mentioned between the keys. If it is a comma, you just have to press the keys in order without anything in between. If it is a “+” character, you will have to hold down the first key and press the second one.
