New Interface Thursday: Using keyboard shortcuts

One of the primary goals of the new interface is to help you manage your campaigns more efficiently. We also wanted to offer some of the conveniences you'll find in other Google products, like keyboard shortcuts. Just like in Gmail, you can quickly navigate around your account without having to use the mouse. In the new AdWords interface you have a number of keyboard shortcuts at your fingertips:

Global navigation

g then o: Go to All Online Campaigns

g then c: Go to Campaigns tab

g then r: Go to Ad groups tab

g then k: Go to Keywords tab

g then n: Go to Networks tab

g then a: Go to Ads tab

g then s: Go to Settings tab

Table navigation and actions

j/k: Next/previous row in the primary data table

x: Select current row (Use Shift + x for multiple rows)

e: Edit

p: Pause

n: Enable

d: Delete

l: Download

Editing ad groups and keywords:

e: Edit selected rows

Ctrl + Arrows: Move between editable fields

Ctrl + s: Save changes

Esc: Cancel edit mode

If you ever forget a shortcut, you can always find them in the help widget in the bottom left of your account.
