Configure Keyboard Shortcuts

There are multiple configurable keyboard shortcuts available to use in order to interact with the Fake Data extension. Below we'll explore how to configure them for each browser.

Default shortcuts

By default, there are two keyboard shortcuts preconfigured in Fake Data:

OS	Fill single input field	Fill the entire form at once
macOS	Cmd + Double Click	Cmd + Shift + Double Click
Windows	Alt + Double Click	Alt + Shift + Double Click
Linux	Alt + Double Click	Alt + Shift + Double Click

If you want to change these shortcuts, you can do the steps described below.

• Open Fake Data's options page.
• Go to Settings -> Keyboard Shortcuts.
• Under Main shortcuts there are two sections. One for filling a single field and one for filling an entire form at once.
• Start pressing the new key combination that you want use, and then double click on one of the two shortcuts that you want to change.
• Press Save.

INFO

The two main shortcuts must always be triggered with a double click on the input field while holding down the key combination.

Configure additional keyboard shortcuts for predefined actions

The second set of keyboard shortcuts that you can configure for Fake Data can be used to perform one of the following actions:

• Fill the active field
• Fill the active form
• Fill the entire page at once
• Manage the current active field

Unlike the Default Shortcuts, these additional ones are configured through your browser's extension settings and they do not require any mouse interaction to trigger them.
