Keyboard shortcuts
The keys that get you around faster, and how to change them.
Press ? anywhere outside a text box to see every shortcut in one list, with the keys you picked. It is also in the You menu and in Jump to anything.
Mod means Cmd on a Mac and Ctrl everywhere else.
- Mod K: open Jump to anything.
- Mod Shift H: go home.
- Mod Shift I: open your messages.
- Mod Shift A: open mentions and replies.
- Mod ,: open account settings.
- Alt and the up or down arrow: the previous or next conversation.
- Alt Shift and the up or down arrow: the previous or next conversation with something unread.
- Alt Mod 1 to 9 in a browser, or Mod 1 to 9 in the desktop app: the places in your top bar.
- Mod and the backslash key: show or hide the sidebar.
- Shift Esc: mark the hub you are in, or your messages, as read. Mark everything as read is in Jump to anything.
- Mod Shift M: mute or unmute in a call.
- Mod Shift D: stop or start hearing the call.
- Mod Shift V: hide or show the call window.
- C, F, T and held Space while you watch together: cinema, full screen, chat, and talk in cinema. Escape steps back from full screen, then cinema.
Change them in Account settings, then Appearance, then Keyboard shortcuts. Hubs will not let you take a key your browser or computer already uses, like copy.
In the desktop app, the call shortcuts can work even when Hubs is not in front.
