Chat with AI

Keyboard shortcuts

Every BoltAI shortcut, and how to change them.

Written By Daniel Nguyen

Change a shortcut

Open Settings › Shortcuts. Click a shortcut and press the new keys, or click × to clear it. Reset to Defaults puts them all back.

Settings › Shortcuts

If a shortcut doesn't work, another app may use the same keys. Pick different keys.

Each AI Workflow can have its own shortcut too. See AI Workflows.

Global shortcuts

These work wherever you are. Some have no keys until you set them.
