As an IDE-based product, Writerside has keyboard shortcuts for most of its actions related to editing, navigation, refactorings, and other tasks. This topic describes some of the most useful and commonly used shortcuts to get you started.
## Search Everywhere
The most important shortcut to remember is `Shift,Shift` (Windows), `⇧,⇧` (macOS), `Shift,Shift` (IntelliJ IDEA Classic (macOS)), `Shift,Shift` (macOS System Shortcuts), `Shift,Shift` (XWin), `Shift,Shift` (GNOME), `Shift,Shift` (KDE), `Shift,Shift` (Emacs), `Shift,Shift` (Sublime Text), `Shift,Shift` (Sublime Text (macOS)), `Shift,Shift` (NetBeans), `Shift,Shift` (Visual Studio), `Shift,Shift` (Visual Studio (macOS)), `Shift,Shift` (Eclipse), `Shift,Shift` (Eclipse (macOS)) that opens the Search Everywhere popup. Use it to find, open, configure, and run almost anything.
Start typing to find any file, action, setting, or commit message among many other things. Depending on what it is you are looking for, you can filter the results by switching to the corresponding tab either by pressing `Tab` (Windows), `⇥` (macOS), `⇥` (IntelliJ IDEA Classic (macOS)), `⇥` (macOS System Shortcuts), `Tab` (XWin), `Tab` (GNOME), `Tab` (KDE), `Tab` (Emacs), `Tab` (Sublime Text), `⇥` (Sublime Text (macOS)), `Tab` (NetBeans), `Tab` (Visual Studio), `⇥` (Visual Studio (macOS)), `Tab` (Eclipse), `⇥` (Eclipse (macOS)) or using a dedicated shortcut:
Go To File
: `Ctrl+Shift+N` (Windows), `⌘ ⇧ O` (macOS), `⌘ ⇧ N` (IntelliJ IDEA Classic (macOS)), `⌘ ⇧ O` (macOS System Shortcuts), `Ctrl+Shift+N` (XWin), `Ctrl+Shift+N` (GNOME), `Ctrl+Shift+N` (KDE), `Ctrl+X, Ctrl+F` (Emacs), `Ctrl+P` (Sublime Text), `⌘ P` (Sublime Text (macOS)), `Alt+Shift+O` (NetBeans), `Ctrl+Shift+T` (Visual Studio), `⌘ ⇧ T` (Visual Studio (macOS)), `Ctrl+Shift+R` (Eclipse), `⌘ ⇧ R` (Eclipse (macOS))
