Keyboard shortcuts
With a keyboard, you can close things, search and move through forms without reaching for the screen. These keys work on an iPhone or iPad with a keyboard attached, and on a Mac. On an Android tablet or Chromebook, use the back button to close what’s in front.

What Esc closes
Section titled “What Esc closes”Esc closes whatever is in front, one thing at a time: an open menu or list, the reactions popup, a panel that slides up from the bottom, a dialog, a photo shown full screen, or the side menu when it lies over the screen. The next Esc closes the screen behind it, such as your profile, Settings, Feedback or a conversation, as its close button or back arrow would.
Esc leaves some screens where they are: the project list, a project’s plans, and the steps of creating a project or adding sheets, which have a Cancel of their own. After you’ve rearranged sheets, it asks before throwing the new order away.
Boxes with several lines
Section titled “Boxes with several lines”In a description box, Return starts a new line rather than moving on to the next box.
