Key Shortcuts For Mac
Andrew Henson
Shortcuts in Microsoft OneLake allow you to unify your data across domains, clouds, and accounts by creating a single virtual data lake for your entire enterprise. All Fabric experiences and analytical engines can directly connect to your existing data sources such as Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and OneLake through a unified namespace. OneLake manages all permissions and credentials, so you don't need to separately configure each Fabric experience to connect to each data source. Additionally, you can use shortcuts to eliminate edge copies of data and reduce process latency associated with data copies and staging.
You can create shortcuts in lakehouses and Kusto Query Language (KQL) databases. Furthermore, the shortcuts you create within these items can point to other OneLake locations, Azure Data Lake Storage (ADLS) Gen2, Amazon S3 storage accounts, or Dataverse.
When creating shortcuts in a lakehouse, you must understand the folder structure of the item. Lakehouses are composed of two top level folders: the Tables folder and the Files folder. The Tables folder represents the managed portion of the lakehouse, while the Files folder is the unmanaged portion of the lakehouse.In the Tables folder, you can only create shortcuts at the top level. Shortcuts aren't supported in other subdirectories of the Tables folder. If the target of the shortcut contains data in the Delta\Parquet format, the lakehouse automatically synchronizes the metadata and recognizes the folder as a table.In the Files folder, there are no restrictions on where you can create shortcuts. You can create them at any level of the folder hierarchy. Table discovery doesn't happen in the Files folder.
When you create a shortcut in a KQL database, it appears in the Shortcuts folder of the database. The KQL database treats shortcuts like external tables. To query the shortcut, use the external_table function of the Kusto Query Language.
Any Fabric or non-Fabric service that can access data in OneLake can use shortcuts. Shortcuts are transparent to any service accessing data through the OneLake API. Shortcuts just appear as another folder in the lake. Spark, SQL, Real-Time Analytics, and Analysis Services can all use shortcuts when querying data.
Spark notebooks and Spark jobs can use shortcuts that you create in OneLake. Relative file paths can be used to directly read data from shortcuts. Additionally, if you create a shortcut in the Tables section of the lakehouse and it is in the Delta format, you can read it as a managed table using Spark SQL syntax.
You can also read shortcuts in the Tables section of a lakehouse through the SQL analytics endpoint for the lakehouse. You can access the SQL analytics endpoint through the mode selector of the lakehouse or through SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS).
You can create semantic models for lakehouses containing shortcuts in the Tables section of the lakehouse. When the semantic model runs in Direct Lake mode, Analysis Services can read data directly from the shortcut.
Applications and services outside of Fabric can also access shortcuts through the OneLake API. OneLake supports a subset of the ADLS Gen2 and Blob storage APIs. To learn more about the OneLake API, see OneLake access with APIs.
Internal OneLake shortcuts allow you to reference data within existing Fabric items. These items include lakehouses, KQL databases and data warehouses. The shortcut can point to a folder location within the same item, across items within the same workspace or even across items in different workspaces. When you create a shortcut across items, the item types don't need to match. For instance, you can create a shortcut in a lakehouse that points to data in a data warehouse.
Shortcuts can also be created to ADLS Gen2 storage accounts. When you create shortcuts to ADLS, the target path can point to any folder within the hierarchical namespace. At a minimum, the target path must include a container name.
ADLS shortcuts use a delegated authorization model. In this model, the shortcut creator specifies a credential for the ADLS shortcut and all access to that shortcut is authorized using that credential. The supported delegated types are Organizational account, Account Key, Shared Access Signature (SAS), and Service Principal.
You can also create shortcuts to Amazon S3 accounts. When you create shortcuts to Amazon S3, the target path must contain a bucket name at a minimum. S3 doesn't natively support hierarchical namespaces but you can use prefixes to mimic a directory structure. You can include prefixes in the shortcut path to further narrow the scope of data accessible through the shortcut. When you access data through an S3 shortcut, prefixes are represented as folders.
S3 shortcuts use a delegated authorization model. In this model, the shortcut creator specifies a credential for the S3 shortcut and all access to that shortcut is authorized using that credential. The supported delegated credential is a Key and Secret for an IAM user.
Dataverse shortcuts use a delegated authorization model. In this model, the shortcut creator specifies a credential for the Dataverse shortcut and all access to that shortcut is authorized using that credential. The supported delegated credential type is Organizational account (OAuth2). The organizational account must have permissions to access data in Dataverse Managed Lake.
ADLS and S3 shortcut authorization is delegated by using cloud connections. When you create a new ADLS or S3 shortcut, you either create a new connection or select an existing connection for the data source. Setting a connection for a shortcut is a bind operation. Only users with permission on the connection can perform the bind operation. If you don't have permissions on the connection, you can't create new shortcuts using that connection.
A combination of the permissions in the shortcut path and the target path governs the permissions for shortcuts. When a user accesses a shortcut, the most restrictive permission of the two locations is applied. Therefore, a user that has read/write permissions in the lakehouse but only read permissions in the shortcut target can't write to the shortcut target path. Likewise, a user that only has read permissions in the lakehouse but read/write in the shortcut target also can't write to the shortcut target path.
When creating shortcuts between multiple Fabric items within a workspace, you can visualize the shortcut relationships through the workspace lineage view. Select the Lineage view button () in the upper right corner of the Workspace explorer.
The shortcuts member defines an array of shortcuts or links to key tasks or pages within a web app. A user agent can use these values to assemble a context menu to be displayed by the operating system when a user engages with the web app's icon. When user invokes a shortcut, the user agent will navigate to the address given by shortcut's url member.
Typing ? on GitHub brings up a dialog box that lists the keyboard shortcuts available for that page. You can use these keyboard shortcuts to perform actions across the site without using your mouse to navigate.
If you view a code file in a repository using the Code view and click on any line in the file, you will see a cursor. You can then navigate within the content of the file, also known as a blob (binary large object), using keyboard shortcuts.
Shortcuts can trigger modals and other app interactions. When someone uses one of your shortcuts, your app will receive some context about what happened in an interaction payload. They are gateways to powerful, productive workflows.
If your app isn't already requesting commands at installation, it will need to be reinstalled before shortcuts can be used. If your app is published in the App Directory, the changes will be reflected only after the app is reviewed and approved.
We explain the process in-depth in our guide to handling user interactions in apps, including how to prepare your app with a request URL. In short, your app will receive an interaction payload after someone uses one of your shortcuts. Your app must process that payload and then send a response.
Take a shortcut to a solution with Bolt
Our Bolt framework, available in JavaScript, Python, and Java allows you to rapidly build logic to handle shortcuts. Learn more about Bolt.
Payloads for global shortcuts will contain different info from payloads for message shortcuts. For example, a payload for a message shortcut will include channel and message context, and a response_url for publishing message responses. If you want to publish a message in response to a global shortcut, use our alternative approach.
A note about global shortcuts and sending messages
If you're using global shortcuts, and want to publish messages as a response, you can do so by triggering a modal containing a special conversation selector.
Whenever a user completes an action with your app (even when it isn't associated with shortcuts), provide confirmation and details about what they just did. And for a third-party service, include relevant links out to the service.
When an app is submitted (or re-submitted) to the App Directory, the confirmation modal does not indicate any changes regarding global shortcuts. Despite the discrepancy, global shortcut changes will be submitted upon confirmation.
