In **Jestor**, while editing an app, simply pressing the **F** key quickly opens the option to add a new block, with no need to dig through menus to find that command.

## How the shortcut works

This shortcut had been away from the platform for a while and came back as part of recent app-editing improvements. With builder mode on, pressing F opens the block-selection interface directly, speeding up dashboard and page building without having to click through several menus to get to that option.

| Shortcut  | Action                                         |
| --------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
| **F key** | Opens the option to add a new block to the app |

## How to use the shortcut while editing an app

1. Turn on builder mode in the app.
2. Press the F key anywhere on the editing screen.
3. Choose the type of block you want to add.
4. Position and configure the block normally within the app's layout.

## Why choose Jestor

- **Faster editing**: keyboard shortcuts cut down on repetitive clicks when building an app.
- **Reorganized editor**: style options, like color and font, also became quicker to test.
- **Automatic saving**: any change made is already saved with no need to click a specific save button.

### Does the F shortcut work on any screen in Jestor?

It works specifically while editing an app, with builder mode turned on.

### Can adding a block through the shortcut be undone?

The block can be removed normally through the editing options, just like any block added through the traditional menu.

### Does the shortcut fully replace the block menu?

No, it's a faster path to the same function; the traditional block menu remains available.
