Yes! FogBugz has keyboard shortcuts!

To activate FogBugz keyboard shortcuts, press Ctrl+; (hold down Ctrl and press the semicolon key) on any page. Little yellow tags will appear over each action with its shortcut.

You can:

Press the key shown to perform the action,
Press Ctrl+; again to rotate through different sets of keyboard shortcuts,
Or press Esc to make the tags go away.

When you're looking at the list of cases, press Ctrl+; to go into keyboard mode and use the cursor keys (⇑, ⇓, Home, End, Page Up, and Page Down) keys to select a case. Once you've selected a case press Enter ↵ to view it.

In some browsers, including Firefox and Internet Explorer, Alt+; can be used as an alternative to Ctrl+;.
On non-English keyboards, try Ctrl+, (comma) or Ctrl+` (backtick).
In certain browsers, including Opera, the arrow keys are not available. Use j and k to navigate up and down within a list.

For Google Chrome it's Ctrl+, took me a bit to figure it out. Works Great! – Quang May 24 2011 at 20:39

I wish i didn't have to press ctrl+; every single time to use a keyboard shortcut, nothing short about pressing a sequence of 2+1 keys. I like it how you can just use shortcuts in gmail.

	Try this Javascript as a BugMonkey customization: `KeyManager.nHotKeysLevel = 1; KeyManager.activateHotKeys();` It enables shortcuts on load. I'm sure it can be improved to also activate on edit, cancel, etc. – Michel de Ruiter♦ Aug 17 2011 at 8:15

If you want, you can use a 3rd party solution that contains much more options

Vimium is a Google Chrome extension which provides keyboard shortcuts for navigation and control in the spirit of the Vim editor.

The Fog Bugz shortcuts (pressing Ctrl + ,):

The Vimium shortcuts (just by pressing the letter F):

P.S. If anyone wants the custom layout, the script can be found here.

Oh yes, please make this a configurable setting. Using it on Mac OS with a German keyboard it seems impossible to enter "\" (Alt-Shift-7) to get to "Working on". This is the Menu I have to enter very often… :-(

Crap! I can't use the \- shortcut! :(

I have a Swedish keyboard-layout, to enter \ I must press <Alt Gr> + +, and as soon as I press <Alt Gr> all the yellow hints disappear and I get a backslash in whatever field that was focused at the moment.

Nothing too serious, I still got that pointing device at the side of the laptop :)

Quite nice way of making Keyboard short-cuts, I'd guess that it is a very clever way of working around some browser limitations (like that you cannot override browser-level shortcuts like <ctrl>/<alt>+S,D,R and so forth).

The shortcuts do not work in the latest version of Chrome on Windows 7.
