Keyboard shortcuts
Every keyboard shortcut in Sports Club OS, page by page: search, menus, the roster, Make booking, the till, the website editor, the boards and more.
Who this is for: Anyone who signs in to Sports Club OS.
Most of Sports Club OS can be used from the keyboard. This page lists the shortcuts it adds, page by page. Where a key works the same on a Mac with Cmd in place of Ctrl, the page says so; elsewhere, use Ctrl.
Everywhere
| Keys | What they do |
|---|---|
| Ctrl+K (Cmd+K on a Mac) | Puts the cursor in the search box at the top of the page. On a phone it opens the search box. |
| Down and Up, then Enter | In the search box: move through the pages and members found, and open the one highlighted. |
| Escape | Clears and closes the search box. Closes the account menu, the side menu on a phone or tablet, and most side panels. |
| Enter | In Help and feedback: sends your message. Shift+Enter starts a new line. Escape closes the panel while you are typing in it. |
There is no Ctrl+Z to undo anything, and no Ctrl+S to save. Where a change can be undone, an Undo button shows in the message that confirms it.
The right-click menu
Shifts and slots on the roster, your own bookings on Make booking, saved filters on Members, a tab on the till and a report page's More all open the same kind of menu.
| How | What it does |
|---|---|
| Right-click, or the … button | Opens the menu. |
| A long press (half a second) on a touch screen | Opens the menu. Moving your finger cancels it. |
| The Menu key, or Shift+F10 | Opens the menu for the item that has keyboard focus. |
| Down and Up, Home and End | Move through the menu. Greyed items are skipped and say why they cannot be used. |
| Enter | Chooses the item. |
| Escape or Tab | Closes the menu. |
Weekly roster
| Keys | What they do |
|---|---|
| Ctrl+C (Cmd+C) | Copies the shift or slot that has focus, or the picked slot: its times, position, note, name and every place. |
| Ctrl+V (Cmd+V) | Pastes a new draft copy at the same start time: on the day under the mouse pointer, or else on the day after the last paste, so pressing it again fills the week day by day. |
| Enter | On a shift: opens it. On a slot: picks it and shows who could fill it. On a person on a slot: opens their shift. |
| Up and Down | Move the shift or slot 15 minutes earlier or later. |
| Shift+Up and Shift+Down | Change only the finish time, by 15 minutes. |
| Left and Right | Move it to the day before or after. |
| Delete or Backspace | On a person on a slot: takes them off and leaves the place open. |
| Escape | Lets go of the picked slot. |
A move by the arrow keys is saved a moment after you stop pressing them. Copy and paste do nothing while you are typing in a field or have a panel or dialog open, and Ctrl+C copies selected words as usual when there are any. Nothing moves onto or off a day that has passed. See Build the week's roster.
Make booking
| Keys | What they do |
|---|---|
| Up and Down on a court | Choose a time, 15 minutes at a time. Page Up and Page Down move an hour. |
| Left and Right on a court | Go to the next or previous court. |
| Enter on a court | Places a booking there, not yet saved. |
| Up and Down on your booking | Move it 15 minutes. Shift+Up and Shift+Down change only the finish. Left and Right change the court. |
| Enter on your booking | Saves the change, or opens the booking if nothing has changed. |
| Escape on your booking | Undoes the change, or takes away a booking not yet saved. |
On a touch screen, press and hold a booking for half a second, then drag it to move it. See Book a court (members) and Change or cancel your booking (members).
The till
| Keys | What they do |
|---|---|
| Any letter or number | Starts a product search, so a barcode scanner works without pressing anything first. |
| Enter in the search | Adds the product whose barcode matches, or the only product found. Three or more digits look up a member's card or member number and put the member on the sale. |
| Down, Up and Enter when finding a member | Move through the people found and choose one. |
| Escape | One step back at a time: closes a dialog, then the till's menu, then goes back to the products, then clears the search. |
| 0 to 9, Backspace, Enter on the PIN screen | Type your PIN, take a digit off, and switch in. |
See Make a sale and take payment and Till PINs and switching between staff.
Members
| Keys | What they do |
|---|---|
| Enter on a row's + in the Tags column | Opens the box for adding a tag. Down, Up and Enter choose and add one; Escape closes it. |
| Enter and Escape | When naming or renaming a saved filter: save, or cancel. |
| Escape | Closes the Filters panel. |
The website editor
| Keys | What they do |
|---|---|
| Ctrl+Enter | Sends your request to the assistant (Control+Enter on a Mac). |
| Enter | While typing on the draft page: starts a new paragraph or list item. In a heading, it breaks the line. Shift+Enter always breaks the line. |
| Ctrl+B, Ctrl+I (Cmd on a Mac) | Bold and italic. |
| Ctrl+K (Cmd+K) | Turns the selected words into a link. |
| Backspace in an empty paragraph | Removes it. |
| Escape | Stops typing and puts the words back as they were. |
See Start a draft and edit the page.
Competitions and the boards
| Keys | What they do |
|---|---|
| Right and Left | In a board's preview: the next or previous board. On the turning wallboard: the next or previous screen. |
| F | In a board's preview: full screen, and back. |
| D | On a wallboard or scoreboard in a browser: light or dark. A TV opened by its own link follows its screen's colours instead. |
| Space | On the turning wallboard: pause or carry on. |
The phone scorer has no shortcuts: score by pressing the buttons on screen.
TVs, displays and the foyer
| Keys | What they do |
|---|---|
| Right and Left | On a display shown in a browser, and on Today at the club: the next or previous slide. |
| Space | On Today at the club: pause or carry on. |
Elsewhere

- Reports: Enter on a figure, bar or point in a widget opens the rows behind it. In the AI Report Assistant, Enter asks and Shift+Enter starts a new line.
- Classes: Enter on a class opens it; Escape closes what was opened last.
