Sniffnet provides a set of keyboard shortcuts to efficiently perform some of the most common interactions with the application.

Keyboard shortcuts, also known as hotkeys, are combinations of keys that allow to perform specific actions more quickly than using the mouse or the touchpad.
Using hotkeys can save you time and make the interaction with the application more natural and fluid, improving the overall user experience.

The currently available hotkeys are reported in the following table.
