Learn how to use the keyboard shortcuts in Adobe Bridge.
Keyboard shortcuts let you quickly select tools and execute commands without using a menu. When available, the keyboard shortcut appears to the right of the command name in the menu.
Note
In addition to using keyboard shortcuts, you can access many commands using context-sensitive menus. Context-sensitive menus display commands that are relevant to the active tool, selection, or panel. To display a context-sensitive menu, right-click (Windows) or Ctrl-click (macOS) an area.
This is not a complete list of keyboard shortcuts. This table primarily lists only those shortcuts that aren’t displayed in menu commands or tool tips.
