circleOS has a small set of global keyboard shortcuts designed for the actions you repeat throughout the day.
Most of the navigation shortcuts use Option on Mac and Alt on Windows or Linux. The command bar uses Cmd on Mac and Ctrl on Windows or Linux.
Command bar
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
| Cmd+K (Mac) / Ctrl+K (Windows/Linux) | Open the Search & Command Bar |
From the command bar you can search records, run page actions, open docs and profile shortcuts, and ask Circle Intelligence questions.
Diagnosis search
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
| Cmd+Shift+D (Mac) / Ctrl+Shift+D (Windows/Linux) | Open the diagnosis search dialog in supported note and visit contexts |
This shortcut only works where diagnosis search is enabled, such as supported note and visit flows.
Navigation
Jump to core pages with Option on Mac or Alt on Windows/Linux:
| Shortcut | Page |
|---|---|
| Option/Alt+H | Home |
| Option/Alt+P | Patients |
| Option/Alt+B | Bookings |
| Option/Alt+C | Calendar |
Locations
Switch your active location without opening the location menu:
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
| Option/Alt+1 through Option/Alt+9 | Switch to locations 1-9 in the location switcher |
| Option/Alt+0 | Clear the location filter and show all locations |
The numbers match the order shown in the location switcher menu.
Sidebar
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
| Option/Alt+S | Toggle the sidebar open or closed |
On smaller screens this opens the sidebar as a drawer overlay instead of collapsing the desktop rail.
Calendar
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
| Option/Alt+N | Create a draft event at the current time on the selected day in Calendar |
Submit and save
Many editors and dialogs support a quick submit shortcut:
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
| Cmd+Enter | Submit or save on many supported screens |
| Ctrl+Enter | Works on many non-Mac screens, but support is still not universal |
This is used in places such as plan creation, document creation, document uploads, lab orders, and some dialogs or editors.
Support is still intentionally uneven. Many newer screens listen for Cmd+Enter and Ctrl+Enter, but some older flows still rely on the Mac-style shortcut path. In particular, the notes editor and some patient-form flows do not yet offer the same Ctrl+Enter fallback everywhere.
When a screen supports a save shortcut, the save or submit button often shows the hint nearby.
