LinkedIn Launches Keyboard Shortcuts Feature to Improve Navigation and Accessibility

LinkedIn keyboard shortcuts, also known as Hotkeys, are designed to streamline navigation on the LinkedIn feed, facilitate navigation for all members, and improve accessibility. They are currently only available on the Desktop version of LinkedIn. Some examples include using "/" for search, "g" followed by another key for navigation (e.g., "g h" for Home), and "?" to display a cheat sheet of hotkeys. To activate the menu, press the Tab key, which allows you to toggle the hotkeys on or off with options like (skip to search), (Skip to main content), & (Keyboard shortcuts). A highlighted component will indicate where your keyboard focus is. To trigger the Hotkeys Cheat Sheet pop-up and the option to toggle them on or off, type "Shift+?".

All site access hotkeys include:

• Shift ? = Open cheat sheet
• / = Search
• g h = Go to Home
• g w = Go to My Network
• g j = Go to Jobs
• g m = Go to Messaging
• g n = Go to Notifications
• j = Next notification

Location-dependent Hotkeys:

For the Feed:

• n = New post (open share box)
• j = Next article
• k = Previous article

For Feed post (active after navigating to a post via j/k):

• l = Like
• c = Comment
• r = Repost
• s = Send

For Notifications:

• j = Next notification
• k = Previous notification

For Top Navigation:

• g j = Jobs
• g m = Messaging
• g n = Notifications
• g p = Me

To toggle LinkedIn hotkeys on or off, you can activate the menu by pressing the Tab key. This will allow you to toggle the hotkeys with options such as (skip to search), (Skip to main content), and (Keyboard shortcuts). Additionally, you can trigger the Hotkeys Cheat Sheet pop-up, which also gives you the option to toggle them on or off, by typing "Shift+?".
