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

This disables all shortcuts.

tip

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