Is there a keyboard shortcuts to jump to a specific category? The “G \> C” shortcut jumps only to the categories page.

No, there’s not a shortcut for going to a specific category… you could use `/` to open search, type in a couple characters, then arrow down to the category but that’s a few steps more.

No problem, thanks for confirming. Is there a way to configure the ‘latest’ view for any category as the default?

You can add keyboard shortcuts in a theme component. Something like this in an intializer:

```js
export default {
  name: "setup-shortcuts",
  initialize() {
    withPluginApi("0.11.4", () => {
      KeyboardShortcuts.addShortcut("g 1", null, {
        path: "/c/community-wiki/developers/179",
      });
    });
  }
}

```

Very interesting. Thank you. I don’t have access, because I am not an admin - just an user, but I’ll keep that in mind.
