# Shortcuts

Datasaur provides keyboard shortcuts to help make labeling faster and more efficient.

### Viewing shortcuts in the app

You can view the full list of available shortcuts at any time directly within the platform. Note that this is only accessible from inside a project.

* Press `Ctrl` + `/` on Windows or `⌘` + `/` on Mac.

### Label shortcuts

In **Span and Conversational labeling** projects, the most commonly used shortcuts appear directly in the label box while labeling spans. In the example below, you can press `2` to apply the `Date` label.
