# A shorter sidebar: 11 entries, tabs inside sections, Settings in one place

Nineteen sidebar entries meant scrolling, and you asked for keyboard shortcuts. It is now 11 and never scrolls: Post-mortems is a tab inside Incidents, Contacts and the delivery log are tabs inside Channels & contacts, and General, Members, Notifications, API keys, Subscription and the Activity log share one Settings entry with sub-navigation. Inbox, Toolbox and Settings are pinned at the bottom; plan-gated features stay visible, marked Pro. Chords: g + letter goes to a section (g m Monitors), c + letter creates (c m monitor, c c channel, c w maintenance window), ? shows the cheat sheet.

Press ? anywhere in the dashboard to see every shortcut.

## Where things went

Used to be its own entry Now

Post-mortems a tab in Incidents

Contacts, delivery log tabs in Channels & contacts

General, Members, Notifications, API keys, Subscription, Activity log Settings , with its own navigation

Inbox, Toolbox and Settings stay at the bottom of the sidebar. Features your plan does not include stay visible with a Pro badge, so you can see what exists.

## Shortcuts

Shortcuts are two keys pressed one after the other:

- g and a letter goes somewhere: g m Monitors, g i Incidents, g r Reports.

- c and a letter creates something: c m a monitor, c c a channel, c w a maintenance window.

- ? shows the full list wherever you are.

## Example

Checking last night's incidents and then adding a monitor no longer needs the mouse: g i , read through the list, then c m and the new-monitor dialog is open.

The full list is in [Keyboard shortcuts](/docs/reference/keyboard-shortcuts).

Since then: Hosts joined the sidebar for server monitoring, with g h ([Hosts](/changelog/2026-09-14-hosts-server-monitoring)).
