Work with keyboard shortcuts in SharePoint Online
SharePoint Online runs in your browser, and you can use the browser's keyboard shortcuts. For example, to move forward through the links and other elements on any web page, including pages created using SharePoint Online, press the Tab key, or to move back, press Shift+Tab.
In addition, SharePoint Online has its own keyboard shortcuts. When you are working in SharePoint Online, just press the question mark (?) at any time to open a list of the shortcuts in a separate window. You can also go to Keyboard shortcuts in SharePoint Online.
