Native shortcuts
The browser blocks a handful of shortcuts that the desktop app can intercept (Cmd+T, Cmd+W, Cmd+1..9). The desktop app also supports global activation from anywhere on your system. Both lists below.
Global (works anywhere on your system)
Available even when Dock isn't the frontmost app. Requires Accessibility permission on macOS, no special permission on Windows / Linux.
| Action | Shortcut |
|---|---|
| Focus Dock from anywhere | Cmd+Opt+Shift+D (macOS) / Ctrl+Alt+Shift+D (Win, Linux) |
| Quick-add row to active workspace | Cmd+Opt+Shift+N |
| Open ⌘K from anywhere | Cmd+Opt+Shift+K |
Browser-blocked (now work in desktop)
These combos are reserved by browsers and can't be intercepted from the web app. The desktop app handles them natively.
| Action | Shortcut |
|---|---|
| New surface (tab) | Cmd+T (web alias: Cmd+Shift+T) |
| Close surface | Cmd+W |
| Jump to Nth surface | Cmd+1 through Cmd+9 |
Standard (work everywhere — web + desktop)
These work in the browser too, listed here for completeness:
| Action | Shortcut |
|---|---|
| Toggle sidebar | Cmd+\ |
| Search anywhere (⌘K) | Cmd+K |
| Next surface | Cmd+Opt+→ |
| Prev surface | Cmd+Opt+← |
Customizing
Global shortcuts are reconfigurable in Settings → Desktop → Global shortcuts. Per-surface shortcuts (web-app standard) aren't customizable yet; if a default conflicts with another tool you depend on, file a support ticket.
