Use the View post action to quickly search for any post and navigate to the front-end view of it. This action works for any post, page and custom post type that is publicly availably.

Keyboard Action will suggest you filtered posts to view while you type the search terms.

Syntax
view – View the currently editing post (see context awareness)
view [{search-term}] – Search for posts within the current post type (see context awareness)
view [{post-type = 'post'}, {search-term}] – Search for posts within a specific post type.

Example usage
view page contact – When on a page that isn’t of the ‘page’ post type, you can indicate that you want to search for pages using the preferred post type slug.
view product red shirt– Works for custom post types too, in this example it searches for WooCommerce products on your site.

Context awareness

This action has context awareness in a couple ways.

1. When editing a post
If you are on the edit-post page in the admin first suggestion Keyboard Action will give you when you type any of the aliases will be to view the current post.

2. Post type awareness
Another way this action is context aware is with the post type. When viewing a post overview, edit page or on the front-end, the action will know which post you’re looking at and will search and suggest posts based on your terms within that post type. For example, when viewing product ‘Blue’, you only have to type view red as the ‘product’ is implicit because you’re viewing a page of the same type.

When no post type is specified, and not viewing any of the post-type pages, Keyboard Action will fallback and provide suggestions for the ‘post’ post type.

Note: This command does not work for post types that aren’t public or don’t use the official WordPress UI.

For performance reasons there is currently a limit of 2500 posts that can be indexed for suggestions. Have more? Please get in touch!

Use the Save settings action to save any settings page. This action searches for the save button on the page and basically presses it for you.

The action will only be available when a save button is found on the page.

Saving posts

Use the Save post action to save/update posts.

The Save post action allows you to save the currently viewing post when on the edit-post screen. This action will work with any post, page and custom post type that uses the WordPress posts UI.

This action doesn’t change the post status, so when a post is a draft you can use this action to save the post in its current state.

Use the Publish post action to publish or save the currently viewing post. Works with any post, page and custom post type that uses the WordPress post UI. This action can be used from both the front-end and admin edit page.

When used on the front-end, Keyboard Action will update the post status on the background and a checkmark will appear indicating a successful update.

In the admin Keyboard Action will publish the post as if you were clicking the publish button, it will save and reload the page. When a post status is already ‘publish’ this action will instead suggest the Save post action.

Use the New post action to navigate to the ‘Add new’ page of the selected post type. This action works for posts, pages and custom post types.

When typing any of the aliases, Keyboard Action will provide suggestions adding any of the available post types.

Context awareness: This action has context awareness. When viewing a post overview, edit page or on the front-end, you can type any of the action aliases and the first suggested action will be to add a new object of the currently viewing post type.

Note: This command does not work for post types that aren’t public or don’t use the official WordPress UI.
