A few UI shortcuts would be very useful when editing Types or other elements:

• Double-click an existing Field =\> open/edit it.  
• Escape =\> Cancel editing a field (or whatever is topmost editor).  
• Ctrl/Cmd-Enter =\> Accept edits and Close a field (or whatever is topmost editor).

Hello and Welcome @Matt_Blais!

I believe you may be referring here to trying to click in single-select fields, such as a Parent Entity within a Child Entity’s Details? If so, you can do that by holding Alt + clicking.

This took me a bit of time to see when I first started with Fibery, but glad for its existence. However, after being here for about 1 1/2 yrs, I would like to be able to simply click these without the need to find “alt” (which usually involves looking down on the keyboard since it’s not a commonly used key).

If you’re talking about something else, apologies and sorry I couldn’t help!

Thanks for the tip. But actually I was referring to editing _Type definitions_. You must use the three-dots menu ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/fibery/original/2X/a/abdf86e5c6caea3bd80bc2c5b7fd6f84517c3f99.png) to edit a field, which is cumbersome, compared to being able to double-click the field.
