Shortcuts

View as Markdown

The Shortcuts tab displays all the keyboard shortcuts available in Postman. You can use the default shortcuts, or customize them if you’re using the Postman desktop app.

To customize a shortcut, click it and then enter your preferred shortcut. Custom shortcuts must meet the following requirements:

  • Shortcuts can’t overlap with system shortcuts.
  • Shortcuts can’t overlap with existing Postman shortcuts.
  • (macOS) Shortcuts must include the Control (⌃), Option (⌥), Shift (⇧), or Command (⌘) key.
  • (Windows) Shortcuts must include the Ctrl, Alt, or Shift key.

You can revert to the default shortcuts by clicking Restore Defaults. To turn off keyboard shortcuts entirely, turn off the Keyboard shortcuts toggle.

Some shortcuts aren’t available in the Postman web app. Also, shortcut modifier keys in Postman may differ depending on your operating system. For example, to open a new tab click ⌘+T on macOS or Ctrl+T on Windows or Linux.
