Keyboard Shortcuts
Customize keybindings for common actions in AgentOne.
The Keyboard Shortcuts section in Settings lets you rebind, disable, or tweak every keyboard shortcut in AgentOne.
Customizing a Shortcut
Each shortcut shows its current keybinding and has two buttons:
- Edit (pencil icon) - opens the shortcut editor where you can press a new key combination to rebind it.
- Reset (restore icon) - restores the shortcut to its default binding. Greyed out when already using the default.
Shortcut Editor
When editing a shortcut, the dialog captures the next key combination you press. You can set any single modifier+key combination (for example, Ctrl+Shift+M).
The editor also lets you toggle:
- Activate in input fields - when on, this shortcut works even when you are typing in a text field. Off by default.
- Prevent default browser behavior - when on, AgentOne intercepts the key combination before the desktop app performs the default action. On by default.
Conflicts
If you set a shortcut that another action already uses, a warning appears in the editor. You can still save the new binding - the conflict is a reminder, not a blocker. The most recently saved binding wins.
The Shortcuts
| Action | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Open Settings | Ctrl+, | Opens the settings panel from anywhere in the app. |
| New Chat | Ctrl+N | Creates a new empty chat and focuses the input. |
| Focus Chat Search | Ctrl+K | Focuses the sidebar search when open; opens the full-screen search dialog when sidebar is collapsed. |
| Toggle Sidebar | Ctrl+B | Collapses or expands the sidebar. |
| Focus Main Chat Input | Ctrl+L | Moves keyboard focus to the chat composer. |
Activate Shortcuts in Input Fields
A global toggle at the top of the section controls whether shortcuts fire when you are typing in any text field. When enabled, you can use Ctrl+N to start a new chat even while composing a message. Each shortcut also has its own per-shortcut override.
This is separate from the Submit Key setting in Chat Settings, which controls how Enter and Ctrl+Enter behave in the chat composer.
