Intro

Airtable on Windows uses Ctrl as its modifier. The grid behaves like a spreadsheet, so the cell shortcuts (Ctrl+C, Ctrl+X, Ctrl+V, and range selection with Shift and the arrow keys) match Excel. The Airtable-specific keys are for switching views and bases and for working inside an expanded record.

Windows-specific shortcut notes

Ctrl as the modifier. Copy, cut, and paste cells with Ctrl+C, Ctrl+X, and Ctrl+V. Ctrl plus an arrow jumps to the edge of the table, and Ctrl+Shift plus an arrow does the same while selecting.

Duplicate by dragging. Hold Alt and drag a record or field to duplicate it. Alt plus the up or down arrow moves a record manually in the current order.

Screen scrolling. Fn plus the up or down arrow scrolls one screen vertically. Alt plus Page Up or Page Down scrolls one screen left or right in a wide table.

Expanded record. With a record open, Ctrl+Shift+Comma and Ctrl+Shift+Period step to the previous and next record. Esc closes the record.
