Here are 6 Tumblr shortcut keys that let you scroll, reblog, like, and queue your posts without using your mouse or touchpad on your Mac or PC. Go through your dashboard faster and easier using only these keyboard hotkeys:

Quickly scroll, like and view notes on your Dashboard:

Keys J, K, L and N

come very handy.

J for next post,

K for previous post,

L to like a post and

N to show post’s notes in a pop up window.

Note: You might want to enable endless scrolling: Go to your dashboard and click the account icon then click settings. Under settings go to Dashboard menu on the right and tick Enable endless scrolling. This is totally optional, it will just make your scrolling uninterrupted by automatically loading next posts.

Quickly compose a new post from anywhere on your Dashboard

You just spent ample amount of time scrolling and remembered you have a certain photo to upload and share to your followers. You don’t need to open a new window or scroll all the way to top. Buy some time and extra effort with these key combo

Windows PC: alt + C

Mac: Option +

A neat pop up post icons will appear just click your preffered post type and you are ready to go. Don’t worry, after posting, you will still be on the same window / screen you’re previously viewing.

Quickly reblog a post

You can quickly reblog a post without even using your mouse or touchpad/trackpad.

Windows PC: alt + R

Mac: Option + R

Note: Works only when you use keyboard shortcuts J and K to navigate. on your dashboard at the very beginning. If you’ve been scrolling using your mouse or touchpad/trackpad this wouldn’t work and nothing will happen.

Quickly add a post to your Queue

One thing I love about tumblr is using the queue functionality. It helps me keep my tumblr updated even during busy days. This shortcuts will help you:

Windows PC: Alt + E

Mac: Option + E

What does it do? Say, you just posted 10 photos of your cat and you found another photo of a cat you want to reblog, but you don’t want to flood your follower’s feed or dashboard with similar photos to piss them off (or do you? cats are adorable). By using these shortcuts the reblogged post will automatically be added to your queue to post later at a given time.

Note: You can set the number of posts to be automatically published on your tumblr account. You can do this by going to your queue page, this settings is displayed just above the page. You can choose from 12 post per 24 hours, etc. Again this will only work if you used the J K L shortcuts from the beginning otherwise, nothing will happen.

Quickly switch between your Dashboard and your Blogs

You have several blogs under your account? I do too! You can quickly switch between them with these shortcuts:

Windows PC: Alt + Tab

Mac: Option + Tab

A neat pop up will appear with your tumblog’s icons. Keep holding ALT or Commad while pressing Tab repeatedly until the tumblog you want to switch to is highlighted, just release the keys and you will be redirected to the tumblog you want to use.

Quickly play a video

So your scrolling and scrolling until suddenly a wild cat video licking a green lollipop appeard.

Just hit the Enter key to play.
