Keyboard shortcut
Gmail — Compose
Thank you for the proposal. I think we should move forward with the Q2 timeline.
Ctrl+Shift+G
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 to view, record, or change shortcuts. Synced modes also appear on your web dashboard under Shortcuts.
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 |
