# GitLab keyboard shortcuts
GitLab has many useful keyboard shortcuts to make it easier to access different features.
You can see a modal listing keyboard shortcuts within GitLab itself by pressing ?,
or clicking **Keyboard shortcuts** in the Help menu at the top right.
From [GitLab 12.8 onwards](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/issues/22113),
keyboard shortcuts can be disabled using the **Enable**/**Disable** toggle in this modal window.
The [Global Shortcuts](#global-shortcuts) work from any area of GitLab, but you must
be in specific pages for the other shortcuts to be available, as explained in each
section below.
