CTRL-F not working anymore?

Hmm, just for reference CMD+F works for me (I'm on a Mac atm). 

Have you cross tested on something else (a PDF or whatever) to make sure the issue isn’t with the keyboard or OS settings? I logged on today and my mouse was molasses slow because Logi Options updated. I could also imagine that if you’re a keyboard guy (like me) you’ve got a mechanical with macro layers and perhaps it’s referencing the wrong layer?

Just providing troubleshoot options that aren’t reliant on AT support haha 🤷

​@Aaron_Hess 

I can confirm that command-F and control-F do not work on the interface grid view.

Command-F and control-F still work as expected on the data layer’s grid view, but not on the interface’s grid view.

It looks like Airtable has changed the keyboard shortcut for searching interface grid views on the Mac to Option Forward Slash, and on Windows to Alt Forward Slash.

Yet it is still command-F and control-F to search the grid view in the data layer.

This certainly makes no sense at all. I would much prefer for this to be command-F or control-F, because it is much easier to use and much easier to remember.

But most importantly, no matter what the keyboard shortcut is, I would much prefer for the keyboard shortcuts to remain 100% completely consistent throughout all of Airtable. That is really the only approach that makes sense.

Please be sure to escalate this issue to Airtable Support at support@airtable.com, and also, be sure to submit this as a feature request via the Product Feedback Form.

​p.s. @DisraeliGears01: Your command-F might be triggering your web browser’s find function, not Airtable’s find function. Also, you might be in a Data Grid View instead of an Interface Grid View.

Hope this helps!

mines not working either

As I mentioned above, be sure to fill out the product feedback form, and you can use the new keyboard shortcut for now.

Hi ​@ScottWorld,

It seems like the new shortcuts (Mac: Option Forward Slash, Windows: Alt Forward Slash) are not working as well.

Would you mind sharing any relevant documentation where this change is noted?

Best regards,

If you hover over the search magnifying glass in Airtable, it displays the keyboard shortcut.

Hi ​@ScottWorld,

Thank you for your response. Unfortunately, I couldn’t seem to find a “search magnifying glass” icon anywhere in the grid interface. Also, it seems that there is no option to enable search somehow.

Were you referring to the base or interface view?

Best regards,
Djordje

It’s in both the base and the interface list pages. If you’re not seeing the search icon in your interface list pages, then it sounds like that is part of your issue. You would need to make sure that you have enabled searching in whichever interface list pages that you want to search.

Hope this helps!

Having this same issue, me and one other user can’t ctrl - f on our interfaces but 2 other users on the same interfaces can use the feature. This is heavily impacting productivity, anyone have a solution? 

It seems like the solution for now is to use the new keyboard shortcut.

And be sure to fill out the product feedback form to let them know that you would like the old keyboard shortcut back.

Alt - forward slash is not working for my interfaces either  (on windows, tried both alt keys and forward as well as back slash). All that happens is the current Airtable entry’s name is highlighted

Just got word from support they have fixed the issue!  CTRL-F works again!

Oh weird — control-F/command-F still isn’t working for me! But maybe they’re rolling out the change slowly to people. Hopefully I’ll get it soon.
