Keyboard Shortcuts
Talonic provides global keyboard shortcuts that work from any page in the platform. These shortcuts let you access common actions without leaving your current context, significantly speeding up daily workflows. Whether you are reviewing extraction results, configuring schemas, or browsing the field registry, the same shortcuts are always available.
Shortcuts are registered at the application level, meaning they respond regardless of which page or panel is currently active. The platform intercepts the key combination before it reaches the browser, so these shortcuts take priority over default browser bindings when the Talonic window is focused. On macOS, shortcuts use the Command key (Cmd); on Windows and Linux, they use Ctrl.
The most frequently used shortcut is Omnisearch (Cmd+K / Ctrl+K), which opens a global search overlay that queries documents, extracted values, field names, schemas, and sources simultaneously. Power users rely on it to navigate the platform faster than clicking through the sidebar.
For best results, build muscle memory around the three core shortcuts. Use Cmd+K to find anything, Cmd+J to upload a document on the fly, and Escape to dismiss any overlay or modal. These three actions cover the most common interruptions during a review or configuration session.
Shortcuts
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| ⌘K / Ctrl+K | global | Open Omnisearch from any page. |
| ⌘J / Ctrl+J | global | Quick extract — upload and process a document. |
| ⌘I / Ctrl+I | global | Open the AI Agent from any page. |
| Escape | global | Close overlays, modals, and search. |
In addition to the global shortcuts, the AI Agent can be opened from any page using Cmd+I (Ctrl+I on Windows). The agent provides a conversational interface for inspecting data, building schemas, and analyzing extraction quality — all without navigating away from your current page. Combined with Omnisearch and quick extract, these three shortcuts cover the most common workflow interruptions.
Cmd+J / Ctrl+J) is the fastest way to upload a single document. It opens a streamlined upload interface that lets you drag a file and start processing immediately. Use it when you receive a document via email or chat and want instant extraction results.Shortcuts in Practice
Keyboard shortcuts become especially powerful when combined with the AI agent. A typical power-user workflow looks like this: press Cmd+J to quick-extract a document that just arrived via email, then press Cmd+I to open the agent and ask "What fields did the platform extract from my latest document?" The agent responds with the full list of extracted fields, confidence scores, and the document classification. If you need to find a related document, press Cmd+K and search by a field value like the vendor name or invoice number. All three actions happen without navigating away from your current page.
For teams that process documents throughout the day, these shortcuts save significant time by eliminating navigation clicks. Over a typical workday of processing 20-30 documents, keyboard shortcuts can save 15-20 minutes compared to clicking through the sidebar for each operation. The time savings compound further when reviewing extraction results, since Cmd+I (AI agent) provides instant answers to quality questions that would otherwise require navigating to multiple pages.
Omnisearch (Cmd+K) deserves special mention because it searches across multiple resource types simultaneously. When you type a query, it returns matching documents, extracted field values, schema names, source names, and field registry entries — all in a single search overlay. This makes it the fastest way to locate any resource in your workspace. For example, searching for a vendor name returns every document mentioning that vendor, every schema field that matches, and every registry entry related to that concept.
