Shortcuts
None of these keys does anything at the moment. This page is kept for the day the Windows app is back: the desktop app's keys, how to change them, and what to do when one does not fire.
NotePress any of these today and nothing happens. They belong to the Windows app, which the download page cannot hand out while it is rebuilt around accounts, so the defaults and the profiles below are how the keys will work when it is back. The chat in your browser has a short list of its own under Chat.
Defaults
| Ctrl+Shift+Space | Open or hide the chat |
| Ctrl+Shift+S | Capture the screen and ask about it |
| Ctrl+Shift+V | Hold to speak, release to stop |
| Ctrl+Shift+C | Copy the last answer |
| Ctrl+N | New chat |
| F8 | Toggle screen privacy |
| Ctrl+Alt+. | Hide every window at once |
| Ctrl+Shift+A | Show or hide the app |
| Esc | Stop the current task |
Changing a key
- 1Open Settings, Hotkeys.
- 2Click the slot for the action you want to change.
- 3Press the combination you want. It is captured live and saved at once.
- 4If another program already owns that combination, the slot says so and keeps the old key.
Profiles
A profile is a whole set of keys. Keep one for everyday use, one with only Show or hide bound so nothing fires by accident, one with almost everything unbound for when a game needs the keys. Create and switch profiles at the top of Settings, Hotkeys.
When a key does not fire
- Another program claimed it first. Global shortcuts are first come, first served on Windows; pick a less common combination.
- A game or full-screen app is in front. Some capture all input and block global shortcuts.
- The other program runs as administrator. It will not pass keys down; restart it without administrator rights, or use a different key.
- A mouse side button does not register. The mouse maker's software may take it first; check its settings.
