Built for the keyboard

bddr.ai is designed for power users who don't want to context-switch from the keyboard to the mouse. Two systems run side by side: a command palette for panel actions, and vim-style chord prefixes for navigation.

Command palette

⌘K (or Ctrl+K on Windows/Linux)

Press ⌘K anywhere on an Amazon Advertising Console page. The palette opens with a fuzzy-search input and lists every available action.

Pressing Cmd+K opens the bddr command palette; typing 'history' filters the list to Show history; pressing Enter opens the audit log overlay.

Open panel: Open the bddr.ai side panel.
Close panel: Close the bddr.ai side panel.
Toggle panel: Toggle the side panel open/closed.
Show bulk edit: Open the Bulk Edit panel (Pro feature).
Show history: Open the History overlay.
Show settings: Open Settings.
Start guided tour: Re-run the setup wizard and panel tour.
Show What's New: Force-show the What's New card in the panel.
Report issue: Export diagnostics and open a support email.
Quick Optimize: Run AI Optimize across all high-confidence tiers on the current page.
Export audit log: Download the change history as a CSV file.
Export diagnostics: Download a diagnostics JSON for support.

Navigation chords (Jump Rail)

Press g to arm a chord, then a second letter to navigate. Global chords fire from any supported page — even without a focused row. Per-entity chords require a focused row (use j / k to focus one).

Pressing g arms a chord prefix indicator in the jump-rail footer; pressing c navigates immediately to the Campaigns list.

Global navigation chords

Available from any page — no row focus needed.

g c: Jump to Campaigns.
g B: Jump to Budgets.
g T: Jump to All Targets.
g p: Jump to Products.
g f: Jump to Portfolios.
g r: Jump to Reports.
g i: Jump to Insights.

Per-entity chords

Single-key shortcuts

Single keys move row focus on grid pages and act on the focused row. ? opens the in-extension cheat sheet from any supported page, no focus required. bddr only intercepts these when no native browser control has focus — so typing in a search box or input works as expected.

Pressing j and k moves row focus through the targeting grid; pressing Enter on the focused row opens the JUMP TO menu listing the row's keyboard-driven jump destinations.

j: Move focus to the next row.
k: Move focus to the previous row.
Enter: Open the focused row's JUMP TO menu — jump to that row's negatives, search terms, or targeting. Only fires when no native control has focus; native browser controls keep their normal behavior.
Esc: Cancel an armed chord, or clear a pending scroll-advance.
?: Open the in-extension cheat sheet overlay.
