EthosCE contains a shortcut module (Coffee) that allows for searching of administrative items with a keyboard shortcut.
Search by using the keyboard shortcut alt + d (alt + shift + d in Opera, alt + ctrl + d in Windows Internet Explorer). For Apple users, option + k is also available.
Type the first few characters of the task to search for. EthosCE will try to find the right result in as few characters as possible. For example, to go to the Certificate templates admin page, type "cer" and just hit enter.
If a query returns multiple results, use the arrow up/down keys to choose a result.
The ":add" command will quickly add content of a specific content type. For example, type ":add course" to add a course.
