# Use keyboard shortcuts

Keyboard shortcuts provide a faster way to perform key actions in Venue Manager without having to take your fingers off the keyboard.

> [!NOTE]
> Some keyboard shortcuts are only available if you have the [necessary permissions](/v1/docs/create-and-manage-staff-roles-and-permissions) or if certain permissions are configured for your account.
