Agree majorly! This is critical to my workflow.

I third that. Any staff member available to comment on the possible inclusion of this?

This is super critical! A basic feature in Sheets and Excel. Airtable’s UI is super friendly. Good keyboard control is mendatory though.

Nearly two years later and still no response from staff. Cmon Airtable, this is a really basic super user feature.

Agreed. I can’t believe this doesn’t exist.

No keyboard shortcut yet?

+1. Any updates on this?

Also requesting this feature. Very inefficient managing hundreds of records by clicking a checkbox with a mouse instead of a quick hotkey to delete.

There’s a faster way to select multiple records without using the checkboxes. Click in any field of any record. Shift-click into any other field of any other record. Airtable selects all fields (and records) between the two. Right-click anywhere in the selection, and choose “Delete all selected records.”

I agree, makes me waste precious seconds. Come on Airtable !

Dear Airtable, please develop a Delete Record keyboard shortcut ASAP. This is an essential feature.

Thank you,

Michael Salafia

Another ask for this, really important shortcut, please create!

Been looking for a way to do that too, and after a lot of fiddling around I just found out that Cmd+Backspace will actually delete a record! Was that what you were all after?

Oh and while I’m at it, you can also move a record up and down using Option+Up/Down I almost cried when I discovered that just recently haha I guess Airtable has been trying to hide those away from us, they’re not even listed in the help center article on keyboard shortcuts!

:exploding_head: :partying_face:

Great stuff! What’s up Airtable!?

For others joining in, to move records around you first have to select the row (no shortcut for that?). :winking_face:

Glad it helped :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

So I kept investigating and… turns out there’s plenty more shortcuts listed in the keyboard shortcut help dialog (which you can toggle by hitting Cmd+/), and those I mentioned in my previous post are in there:

I can’t see any shortcut to bring the records into focus when you’re in unfocused state though, too bad

They need to update the help page though. Didn’t know about the existence of the help dialog either…
