Thank you for the proposal. I think we should move forward with the Q2 timeline.
Keyboard shortcuts are ideal when you already selected text and know the action you want.
- 1
Select text in any app.
- 2
Press your shortcut — defaults include Ctrl+Shift+G for fix/grammar and other modes you configure in the app or dashboard.
- 3
Keyshift processes the selection and pastes the result back into the same field.
Open Keyshift → Settings → Shortcuts to view, record, or change shortcuts. Synced modes also appear on your web dashboard under Shortcuts.
Built-in shortcuts can be changed too
The command palette, quick actions, clipboard, voice and screen text hotkeys are all editable under Settings → Shortcuts → Built-in shortcuts. Click one, press the combination you want, and it applies immediately. Press Backspace to switch a shortcut off entirely if it clashes with another app.
Custom modes
Create modes with your own system prompt on the dashboard (e.g. “make this more formal for legal email”). Assign each mode a hotkey in the desktop app.
| When to use | Best for |
|---|---|
| Shortcut + selection | Quick fix, translate, summarize on highlighted text |
| keyshift trigger | You are already typing; no selection step |
| Command palette (Ctrl+K) | Browse all actions with detected context |
