Editor tips and shortcuts
Quick navigation, dark mode, and other small things that make Basker faster to use day-to-day
A few small editor features that can make Basker faster to work in once you know they're there.
Command menu
Press Cmd + K (macOS) or Ctrl + K (Windows and Linux) anywhere in Basker to open the command menu. It's the quickest way to jump around without using the sidebar.
Useful jumps:
- Find a record by name — start typing the title of a page, event, post, or person, and Basker shows matching records you can open directly.
- Switch site — for accounts with access to several sites, the command menu lets you jump to another one without going back to the dashboard.
- Open settings — type a setting area name (Domains, Languages, Apps) to land on the right screen.
The command menu is purely a navigation aid; nothing you do here changes content. Press Esc to close it without picking anything.
Dark mode
Basker's editor has a light mode and a dark mode. Toggle between them from your account preferences. The setting is per-user and per-device — what looks good on your laptop in a bright office might not match what you want on a phone at night.
Dark mode is an editor preference only. It doesn't affect the live site, doesn't change which theme settings render publicly, and doesn't affect what other people see when they open Basker.
