TestRail - Shortcuts and Hotkeys
Starting with TestRail 4.2, TestRail will begin providing keyboard shortcuts for important and frequently used actions such as editing or saving objects, adding results and comments & attachments, and navigating between cases or tests. Shortcuts will be grouped based on tabs.
The Modifier Key
For few actions, 2 keys are required to press at a same time one is modifier key and other is actual one. Modifier key usually depends on Platform and web browser is used by user. It is generally either Command or Control key. For example, to submit a test case, user requires to press <mod> + S. So, it could be Ctrl + S or Command + S <mod> = Ctrl or Command
