How does one bypass or get through the walk-around and into the cockpit?

Since there is no such thing as a dumb question, how do you enter the cockpit? In my case, the A320neo.

Shift C, I think. I am sure I saw that on a YouTube video.

Thank you, I would have been walking around the aircraft for years.

Be aware that skipping walkaround by using the short cut won’t remove the engine/pitot tube/static port covers and chocks whatever is applicable. And these do have impact on the flight.

That wish may be of some interest:

It must be doable! Select a LS18 glider, no walkaround, straight in cockpit, tug ready, cable attached wings level ready to go.

See the following

Because gliders only start on the runway. This will work for any plane, but not if you start at the gate.

How about a helicopter? If you start at a runway, do you start with engines running and pilot in cabin?
