Keyboard shortcuts
The Browser's keys, and which ones you can change.
The keys below show as ⌘ on a Mac and Ctrl on Windows and Linux. Settings → Keyboard shortcuts lists every one, and you can search it by what a key does or by pressing the keys.
Tabs and pages
| Keys | Does |
|---|---|
| ⌘CtrlT | Open the command center |
| ⌘CtrlL | Open location |
| ⌘CtrlW | Close the tab |
| ⌘Ctrl⇧ShiftT | Reopen the last closed tab |
| ⌘CtrlY | History |
| ⌘CtrlF | Find in page |
| ⌘CtrlN | New window |
These are the keys every browser has. They stay as they are, so sites and your muscle memory keep working.
Browser features
| Keys | Does |
|---|---|
| ⌘CtrlE | Side chat |
| ⌘Ctrl⌥AltS | Side panel |
| ⌘Ctrl⌥AltP | Video popup |
| ⌘Ctrl⌥AltE | Energy saver |
| ⌃CtrlM | Mute the tab (Ctrl on every platform, since ⌘M minimizes on a Mac) |
| ⌘Ctrl⇧Shift2 | Take a screenshot |
Each of these can be changed or cleared. Clearing one hands the keys back to the page, which matters for ⌘CtrlE: Google Docs uses it to center text.
Privacy mode (⌘Ctrl⌥AltB) and Focus mode (⌘Ctrl⌥AltF) come with their plugins and show in the list once they're on.
Your own shortcuts
Any command on the wheel can have keys of its own, and none do by default. Picked keys need Ctrl, Alt, or ⌘ held (or are F1–F12), so they never type into a page. They also win over a site's own shortcut for the same keys.
If two actions end up on the same keys, both rows are tinted and say which one runs. Nothing is refused, so you can move keys around without clearing one first.
