Keyboard Shortcuts


Most of the time you’re in Blue Butterfly, you’re in the spreadsheet. The shortcuts below cover everything you need to log without touching the mouse.

Spreadsheet

KeyAction
TabConfirm edit and move to the next cell (right)
EnterConfirm edit and move down one row
Arrow keysNavigate between cells
EscCancel current edit
Ctrl+EnterAdd a new row at the bottom of the table

The hint bar at the bottom of the spreadsheet always shows these:

Tab / Enter: Next cell | Arrows: Navigate | Esc: Cancel | Ctrl+Enter: Add row

Tips

  • Tab right, Enter down. Once you’re in a rhythm, you can fill an entire row by tabbing across, then Enter to drop to the next row’s first cell.
  • Ctrl+Enter mid-row is fine. Adds a new row at the bottom regardless of where you are. Keeps you typing.
  • Esc is forgiving. If you start editing a cell and don’t want to commit, Esc bails out without changing the value.

For dropdowns, formula cells, and cell-validation behaviour, see Enter Interval Data.
