Ctrl+S hotkey to save

Ctrl+S hotkey for saving in the OpenCart 3.x admin

The module adds a convenient keyboard shortcut for quick form saving to the OpenCart 3 admin panel. Once installed, you can instantly save products, categories, modules, settings, and other pages using the familiar Ctrl+S (or Cmd+S on macOS) shortcut.

This is a simple but extremely useful solution for daily work with an online store. Instead of scrolling up a long page and dragging your mouse to the save button every time, just press hot keys on the keyboard.

Who will benefit from this module?

The module will become an indispensable assistant for store owners, administrators, content managers, SEO specialists, and developers who regularly edit products, descriptions, specifications, categories, or system settings.

How does it work?

The main task of the module is to speed up routine work and make content management more comfortable. When you press Ctrl+S, the script automatically finds the standard save button on the current admin page and initiates form submission.

The module works exclusively on the browser side: it does not change the logic of OpenCart, does not overwrite system files, and does not make any changes to the database .

Main advantages:

• Instantly save any forms via Ctrl+S.
• Full Cmd+S support for Apple device (macOS) users.
• Significantly speeds up work when mass editing product and category cards.
• Works automatically on all standard admin pages where there is a save button.
• Does not require any additional settings - ready to work immediately after installation.

Technical features:

• Designed specifically for OpenCart 3.x (including ocStore 3.x builds).
• Implemented as a pure JavaScript handler that is added to admin pages.
• Installed as a safe modifier via OCMOD (extension installation system).
• Does not create additional tables or database queries, does not load the server.

Installation instructions for OpenCart 3:

1. Go to the admin panel in the Extensions → Install extensions section.
2. Download the modifier file (archive of the format *.ocmod.zip ).
3. Go to Extensions → Modifiers .

Tip: If the hotkeys don't work after installation, refresh your browser cache using Ctrl + F5 .
