Keyboard shortcuts
Press ? anywhere (or pick Keyboard shortcuts in the ⌘K palette) to see the list in the app. On Windows and Linux, read ⌘ as Ctrl.
Anywhere
| Keys | Action |
|---|---|
| ⌘K / Ctrl+K | Open the command palette: jump to a section or conversation, search, or press Tab to ask IQ. |
| / | Open the command palette. |
| ⌘⇧K / Ctrl+Shift+K | Open the IQ section, using the selected text as the question. |
| C | Focus the message composer. |
| N | Start a new item in the current section: the same action as the sidebar's + button. It does nothing on the home launcher or in IQ. |
| ? | Show the shortcut list. |
| Esc | Close the open dialog or menu. |
The single-key shortcuts (/, C, N, ?) only fire when you aren't typing in a field and no dialog is open, so they never swallow a keystroke you meant to type.
Composer
| Keys | Action |
|---|---|
| Enter | Send the message. |
| Shift+Enter (or Option/Alt+Enter) | Insert a newline. |
| ↑ / ↓ | Recall earlier messages. |
| Esc | Stop the reply that is streaming. |
Why these keys
None of them collide with a browser shortcut: the app avoids ⌘/Ctrl + N, T, W, L, R, F, D and the digits, which browsers reserve.
