How Do You Use the B and C Keyboard Shortcuts to Open Builder Mode or Create a New Item in Jestor?

In Jestor, the B key toggles builder mode on any screen, and the C key opens the quick-creation modal, letting you build a new table, app, Kanban, or form without clicking through several menus.

Why use keyboard shortcuts day to day

Anyone who edits processes often loses time navigating repeated menus. Shortcuts cut that trip down to a single keystroke, speeding up both editing and creating new elements on the platform.

What each shortcut does

B: turns on builder mode, making every element on the screen editable, with a visible pencil icon
C: opens the initial creation screen, with options for a new table, new Kanban, new form, or new app
Both work anywhere on the platform, no need to navigate to a specific menu
Builder mode can also be activated other ways, for anyone who prefers using the mouse

How to use the B and C shortcuts in Jestor

While logged into Jestor, press B to turn on builder mode
Press B again to turn it off and return to normal usage mode
Press C to open the quick-creation modal
Choose the type of element you want to create from that modal

Process automation with faster navigation

Combining these shortcuts with the action bar (Ctrl+K or Cmd+K) means anyone building processes frequently in Jestor can barely need the mouse for the most common day-to-day actions.
