<h3>Quick Navigation with Keyboard Shortcuts</h3>
<p>DirectAdmin's Evolution skin includes keyboard shortcuts that help you navigate the control panel more efficiently. These shortcuts can save time if you frequently access specific sections.</p>
<h3>Available Keyboard Shortcuts</h3>
<p>The following shortcuts are available when using the Evolution skin:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>/</code> (forward slash) - Open the search/command bar to quickly find features and settings.</li>
<li><code>g</code> then <code>h</code> - Go to the Home/Dashboard page.</li>
<li><code>g</code> then <code>f</code> - Go to the File Manager.</li>
<li><code>g</code> then <code>e</code> - Go to Email Accounts.</li>
<li><code>g</code> then <code>d</code> - Go to Domain Setup.</li>
<li><code>g</code> then <code>b</code> - Go to MySQL Databases.</li>
<li><code>g</code> then <code>s</code> - Go to SSL Certificates.</li>
<li><code>?</code> (question mark) - Display the keyboard shortcuts help overlay.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Using the Search Bar</h3>
<p>The search bar is one of the most powerful navigation tools in DirectAdmin:</p>
<ol>
<li>Press <code>/</code> on your keyboard to open the search bar.</li>
<li>Start typing the name of the feature you are looking for (e.g., "cron", "email", "DNS").</li>
<li>Results will appear as you type. Use the arrow keys to highlight a result.</li>
<li>Press <strong>Enter</strong> to navigate directly to that feature.</li>
</ol>
<div class="alert alert-info">Keyboard shortcuts only work when you are not focused on a text input field. If shortcuts are not responding, click on an empty area of the page first.</div>
<h3>Navigation Tips</h3>
<ul>
<li>Use the breadcrumb navigation at the top of the page to quickly go back to parent sections.</li>
<li>The sidebar menu can be collapsed by clicking the hamburger icon to give you more screen space.</li>
<li>Right-clicking on menu items allows you to open sections in a new browser tab.</li>
<li>Browser bookmarks work with DirectAdmin pages, so you can bookmark frequently used sections.</li>
</ul>
<div class="alert alert-info">Keyboard shortcuts may vary slightly depending on the skin you are using. The shortcuts listed above are specific to the Evolution skin.</div>
