Subject says all. Would be a nice enhancement. Mousing around interrupts my flow.

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

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 :raised_hands: 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!

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 :frowning:

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