Three Shortcuts for Azure Devops

Updated 03/21/2020 – New shorts for navigating to to boards, backlogs, sprints, and queries (b,l,i,q)

For the full list of Azure Devops Shortcuts, see Microsoft Documentation Here

below are the three most helpful shortcuts I have used so far..

(g,w) – Go to work
This shortcut opens up the work items board. Now that the boards dropdown is open, more keys become available to navigate between Work Items, Boards, Backlogs, Sprints, and Queries.

[ w ] – open work items
[ l ] – open backlog
[ b ] – open board (easiest to remember for me; I remember the key combos as (g, w,b) “go to work on the board”
[ q ] q for queries

(g,w) goes here

(g,c) This Shortcut navigates to the Code Category

(g,b) This shortcut goes to the Build Pipeline Home. this may be useful in conjunction with with the above shortcut. In my workflow, I often like to jump between looking at Code, and configuring my builds. These two shortcuts make it easy to jump quickly between the two.

I Still can’t find a way to easily jump between Pipelines.Builds and Pipelines.Releases, hopefully there will be a shortcut for this soon

(g b) goes here

At anytime it is useful to press [?] to show a list of available shortcuts on the current screen.
