# Form Builder keyboard shortcuts
## Keyboard Shortcuts dialog
[\[SINCE Orbeon Forms 2025.1\]](/release-notes/orbeon-forms-2025.1.md)
Form Builder includes a dedicated Keyboard Shortcuts dialog that lists all available shortcuts, allowing you to discover them without leaving the app. You can display this dialog in two ways:
* By pressing ⇧? (`shift` + `?`).
* In the Form Builder toolbox's Advanced tab, click the "Keyboard Shortcuts" button.

## Discoverability
[\[SINCE Orbeon Forms 2023.1.3\]](/release-notes/orbeon-forms-2023.1.3.md) Most keyboard shortcut hints now show when you hover over the Form Builder toolbox, the buttons bar, or icons. [\[SINCE Orbeon Forms 2023.1.6\]](/release-notes/orbeon-forms-2023.1.6.md) If you want to disable hover hints because you find them distracting or for any other reason, set the following property to `false`. Its default value is `true`, meaning hints are shown by default for all forms.
