Work your way, with shortcuts that fit.


The challenge

Even experienced users lose time navigating menus or remembering different keyboard shortcuts across applications. Standard shortcuts do not always match individual preferences, creating small interruptions that add up throughout the day.

The solution

The new Hotkeys settings menu gives you a single place to view every keyboard shortcut available in the next-gen iManage platform. Users can customize shortcuts to match the way they work, helping them move faster through common tasks and reducing unnecessary clicks.



From the Settings menu in the next-gen iManage platform, open the new Hotkeys section.

The page provides a complete list of available keyboard shortcuts across the platform, organized into Global, Documents, Folders & Workspaces and Documents.




Review the shortcuts already assigned to common actions, such as opening search, navigating to recent workspaces, viewing document versions, or downloading documents. Click Edit, click the box and type the key/s you want to replace the Hotkey. Select X to unassign the Hotkey.

Select any shortcut you want to change and assign a key combination that better fits your personal workflow.




To create a new Hotkey, select Add Hotkey within the relevant category. Choose the action you want to trigger and assign the key combination you prefer.

The platform helps ensure the shortcut is available before saving it. Once saved, the new hotkey becomes available throughout the platform, allowing users to navigate faster, reduce repetitive clicks, and create a more personalized working experience.
