Keyboard
Purpose
Neda works on the keyboard all day and wants a shortcut for a new chat, but sometimes she presses a shortcut by accident. Turn keyboard shortcuts on or off, all together or one by one.
Before you start
Sign in and select your workspace. This setting is saved for your seat in the current workspace. On Mac, shortcuts use Cmd and Option; on other computers they use Ctrl and Alt.
Steps
- Open the account menu in the sidebar and choose Settings (or use the Open settings shortcut listed under Keyboard).
- Under App settings, select Keyboard. The row shows On or Off.
- Use Enable keyboard shortcuts to turn every shortcut on or off. Its description says: press Ctrl+K (Cmd+K on Mac) to search and run commands, and Ctrl+/ (Cmd+/ on Mac) to see every shortcut.
- Below it, three groups list each shortcut with its keys and a switch: General, Go to and Chats. Switch off any shortcut you do not want.
- When Enable keyboard shortcuts is off, all the individual switches are off and cannot be changed.
Expected result
Changes save as soon as you make them; there is no Save button. These are the shortcuts (Cmd replaces Ctrl on Mac, Option replaces Alt):
| Group | Action | Keys |
|---|---|---|
| General | Search and run commands | Ctrl+K |
| General | Show keyboard shortcuts | Ctrl+/ |
| General | New chat | Ctrl+Shift+O |
| General | Open settings | Ctrl+, |
| General | Toggle sidebar | Ctrl+B |
| Go to | Chats, Agents, Projects, Plugins, Skills, Library, Images, Sites, Scheduled | G then C, A, J, P, S, L, I, W, T (in that order) |
| Chats | Previous chat | Alt+Up |
| Chats | Next chat | Alt+Down |
| Chats | Delete this chat | Ctrl+Shift+Backspace |
| Chats | Focus message box | Shift+Esc |
| Chats | Stop reply | Esc |
Troubleshooting
| Problem | What to do |
|---|---|
| A change does not stick | A dialog titled Error explains why saving failed. Select Close, check your connection and try again. Reopen the page to see the saved value. |
| A shortcut does nothing | Check that Enable keyboard shortcuts and the switch for that shortcut are both on. Plain-key shortcuts such as G then C do not run while you are typing in a text box or while a dialog is open. |
