Keyboard shortcuts

The ones worth learning, on the desktop app.

The command palette is the one to learn first: it finds every action and every discussion, so you do not have to remember the rest.

In the composer

  • Start a message with a seat's name — "@gemini …" — to ask that seat alone. One pass, no review.
  • @guest opens the catalogue: pick a model and it answers once as a guest.
  • /name runs one of your skills, wrapping the message in the instructions it holds.
  • /comment … leaves a note for your team in the transcript that the room never answers.
  • Drag a file, or paste an image, straight onto the composer.

While a run is going

You can keep typing. What you send is picked up at the next turn boundary rather than interrupting the seat mid-sentence or being thrown away — so a correction you think of halfway through lands in the same discussion.

The full list

The current bindings live in the app's own help, written beside the code that binds them: the help centre. The palette is worth the habit either way; it finds everything the menus do and every discussion you have.
