Shortcut Safety​

Shortcuts are checked to prevent accidental triggering while typing:

Non-triggering Situations​

  • Typing in an input field (<input>, <textarea>)
  • Typing in a contentEditable element
  • Except Ace Editor — Ctrl+H triggers in Ace Editor

Why?​

This check is necessary to avoid conflicts with Graylog's own shortcuts and to preserve user experience.

Disabling Shortcuts​

Settings → Keyboard Shortcuts Enabled → false

This disables all shortcuts.

tip

If you only want to disable the search history shortcut, turning off Search History Enabled is sufficient.
