Developer Experience (DX) is always at the forefront of our minds, from micro-animations to predictable APIs, quick [support response times](/support), and industry-leading uptime.

Along these lines, we've long supported using keyboard shortcuts to navigate the app. From accessing the login page, to exposing API reference examples, and more. These shortcuts, however, were hidden behind hover states.

Today, we're exposing key shortcuts to users in the UI.

Repetitive actions add friction to the experience of using Resend, and we believe these shortcuts can help save time and facilitate easy navigation.

At times, exposing shortcuts can encourage additional interactions, like pressing `A` to access the API reference or `F` to access the feedback form to help improve the product.

We've also added key shortcuts to highlight accessible features like `ESC` to dismiss modals.

We plan to add additional shortcuts in the future as we find more opportunities to improve the developer experience.
