Speed Up Page Building with Keyboard Shortcuts

GoHighLevel just added a major speed boost to your page building experience: full keyboard shortcut support across every Page Builder environment.

Here’s what’s now live:

• Press Shift + / at any time in the builder to open a shortcut cheat sheet
• Works in Funnels, Websites, Blogs, Webinars, Stores, and Notes
• Access common commands without touching your mouse

This update isn’t just a cute convenience. It’s a power tool.

With shortcuts, you can now:

• Save, undo, redo, preview, and publish with lightning speed
• Open important panels (like Layers, Settings, Quick Add, or Custom Code)
• Navigate between elements, parent containers, and entire sections
• Add blank sections and format text with bold, italic, or links on the fly

This feature makes you feel like you’ve unlocked an “advanced mode” for building pages in GHL. Everything stays familiar—just 10x faster.

Before this update, building a page in GHL meant lots of clicking—click to open settings, click to add sections, click to preview, click to publish. Over time, those clicks add up. They interrupt your flow, especially when you’re deep in design or tweaking a live page.

Now with keyboard shortcuts, the friction is gone.

Here’s how things have changed:

• Navigation: Move between elements, sections, and containers without touching your mouse. It’s precision control for even the most complex layouts.
• Editing: Format text like a pro—bold, italic, underline, add links—just like you would in Google Docs or Notion.
• Panels: Open Layers, Custom Code, Settings, or Quick Add with a single keystroke instead of digging through menus.
• Workflow: Save, undo, redo, preview, and publish instantly—no more hunting for buttons.

Shortcuts don’t just make things faster—they make your brain work less. You stay focused on building, not on where to click next.

Let’s be real—building pages isn’t just about dragging and dropping blocks. It’s about staying in the creative zone long enough to finish something great. That’s where keyboard shortcuts come in.

This update isn’t just about speed—it’s about flow.

• Less clicking means less context switching. Every time you stop to grab the mouse or hunt for a button, you lose a little momentum. Shortcuts keep your hands on the keyboard and your brain on the build.
• It helps you stay focused. When your layout gets complicated, moving between containers and nested elements with shortcuts makes a huge difference.
• Perfect for power users. Agencies building dozens of pages a week will save hours with even basic shortcut use.

Even better? Nothing’s been removed. If you still prefer using the mouse, everything works the same. This feature just gives you an edge—especially when deadlines are tight and edits need to happen fast.

Using the new keyboard shortcuts in GHL is dead simple—and once you try them, you won’t want to go back.

Here’s how to get started:

• The Main Menu on the Left side of your screen has all the main areas that you work in when using GHL

• 1.1 Click on the Sites Menu Item.

• Access the ‘Site’ section of GoHighLevel
• You’ll now be in the Site’ section of GHL, where you can access the Funnels section from the top menu:

1.2 Click on the ‘Funnel’ menu link.

• This works in Funnels, Websites, Webinars, Blogs, Notes, and even Stores.

Here are the ones you’ll use every day:

• Cmd/Ctrl + S — Save your work instantly
• Cmd/Ctrl + Z — Undo

Whether you’re tweaking button spacing or building from scratch, shortcuts like these let you move fast, stay focused, and build better.

If you’re serious about speed, this is where the keyboard shortcuts go from “cool” to “can’t live without.”

Here are a few power-user moves to take things up a notch:

1. Save + Preview on Repeat

• Hit Cmd/Ctrl + S to save, then immediately Cmd/Ctrl + P to preview.
• Do this after every major edit to stay in sync with your live design.

2. Rapid Section Editing

• Press L to open the Layers panel.
• Use arrow keys to jump between elements.
• Tap Enter to start editing instantly.
• No more scrolling up and down trying to find that rogue text box.

3. One-Tap Access to Hidden Panels

• C for Custom Code panel
• A for Quick Add
• S for Settings

Keep those three in muscle memory and you’ll fly through edits.

4. Text Formatting on the Fly

• Instead of reaching for formatting icons, just select your text and hit:
  • Cmd/Ctrl + B for bold
  • Cmd/Ctrl + I for italic
  • Cmd/Ctrl + K to insert a link

This makes writing and refining copy inside the builder way faster.

5. Train Your Team

• Take five minutes during onboarding to show your team the top 5 shortcuts.
• Bonus: Print them out or link to a Notion doc.
• Your designers, editors, and VAs will thank you.

With even a handful of shortcuts memorized, your workflow gets faster, smoother, and way more fun.

This isn’t just a small UI tweak—keyboard shortcuts in GoHighLevel are a straight-up productivity upgrade for any team building on the platform.

For agencies, speed is everything.

• Deadlines? Tighter than ever.
• Clients? Always asking for “just one more tweak.”
• Teams? Balancing dozens of projects.

This update gives your builders, designers, and even your junior VAs a serious speed advantage. Less time clicking means more time creating.

And because these shortcuts work across Funnels, Websites, Blogs, and even Notes, your whole operation gets more efficient. Whether you’re updating a launch funnel or cleaning up a blog layout, you’ll move faster without changing anything in your process.

Even better? You don’t need to train your team to adopt a new system. Just hit Shift + / to discover the shortcuts and start flying.

It’s a no-risk, all-reward update for teams who care about speed and precision.

Once you start using keyboard shortcuts, the impact shows up fast—and not just in your page speed.

Here’s what you can expect:

1. Faster Turnaround Times

• Teams can build and ship pages faster—whether it’s a 3-page funnel or a full site redesign.
• Less mouse-clicking means fewer distractions and more output.

2. Cleaner, More Consistent Pages

• Navigating sections and containers with precision leads to tighter layouts and fewer mistakes.
• No more accidental edits or missed elements when scrolling through complex builds.

3. Happier, Less Burned-Out Teams

• Repetitive clicking is mentally draining. Shortcuts reduce the cognitive load.
• Your builders can stay in the zone longer, with fewer interruptions.

4. Better Scaling for High-Volume Agencies

• If your agency builds pages for clients daily, this adds up—fast.
• Even saving 2–3 minutes per page can mean hours of time back each week.

5. Easier QA and Collaboration

• It’s easier to review and tweak pages on the fly.
• Teams can edit and iterate faster without slowing down the feedback loop.

Whether you’re flying solo or managing a team of designers, these gains are real—and they compound every day you use them.

GoHighLevel didn’t reinvent the Page Builder with this update—but they made it way more powerful.

By introducing keyboard shortcuts across Funnels, Websites, Blogs, and more, GHL just gave agencies a speed boost that feels like a secret weapon.

You don’t need to learn new software. You don’t need to change how you build. You just need to hit Shift + /, learn a few keys, and start working smarter.

So if you’re still building with clicks alone, it’s time to upgrade.

Jump into your next project, try a few shortcuts, and see how much faster your workflow becomes. You’ll never look at page building the same way again.
