# Keyboard shortcuts (/reference/keyboard-shortcuts)





The web app has four keyboard shortcuts. All of them can be rebound under Settings › Keyboard.

## Default bindings [#default-bindings]

The primary modifier is Cmd on macOS and Ctrl on Windows and Linux.

| Action                             | macOS       | Windows / Linux | Where it applies       |
| ---------------------------------- | ----------- | --------------- | ---------------------- |
| Send prompt                        | Cmd+Enter   | Ctrl+Enter      | A prompt composer only |
| Command menu (search and navigate) | Cmd+K       | Ctrl+K          | Everywhere             |
| New session                        | Cmd+Shift+O | Ctrl+Shift+O    | Everywhere             |
| Toggle sidebar                     | Cmd+/       | Ctrl+/          | Everywhere             |

In the composer, the Send prompt binding sends the message and Enter inserts a newline. If you rebind Send prompt to plain Enter, Shift+Enter inserts the newline instead. The settings page shows the current pair below the shortcut list.

## Rebind a shortcut [#rebind-a-shortcut]

1. Open Settings › Keyboard.
2. Click the binding next to the action you want to change. The button reads "Press shortcut" while it is recording.
3. Press the key combination. Press Escape to stop recording without changing anything.
4. Click Save. The page confirms with "Keyboard shortcuts saved."

Click Reset to defaults to restore the table above, then Save.

## Binding rules [#binding-rules]

| Rule                                                                                                                          | What you see                                                                                           |
| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| A primary (Cmd/Ctrl) or Alt modifier is required. Send prompt is the exception: it may be plain Enter, with or without Shift. | The combination is not recorded                                                                        |
| A modifier key on its own (Shift, Ctrl, Alt, Cmd) is not a binding.                                                           | The combination is not recorded                                                                        |
| Two actions cannot share one binding.                                                                                         | "This shortcut is already in use." under the action, and Save is disabled until you change one of them |

Shift alone is not a sufficient modifier for the three global actions, so Shift+K is rejected while Ctrl+Shift+K is accepted.
