Keyboard

Settings → Keyboard sets which key sends your message and lists every shortcut Claudette handles. You can change any of them. Keyboard shortcuts in the Reference lists them all with their defaults.

Send with

The top of the page picks the key that sends the message in the composer, and the one that starts a new line:

Enter, with Shift+Enter for a new line is the default.
Ctrl+Enter, with Enter for a new line (⌘↩, with Enter for a new line on macOS) suits messages with many lines.

The composer’s placeholder says which is in use, and so does the chip just before Send, ⏎ sends or Ctrl+⏎ sends; clicking the chip switches it from any tab, and this page follows (The send key). Ctrl/Cmd+Enter also answers a waiting prompt, as Allow the waiting prompt does: with it as the send key, it sends what you’ve typed, and with nothing typed it answers the prompt. Sending and stopping explains the composer’s side, and Permission cards the prompts.

Changing a shortcut

Open Settings → Keyboard.
Click the shortcut you want to change. It says “Press keys…”.
Press the new keys. Esc cancels.

A command you’ve changed also has Reset, which puts its default back. Remove clears a command’s shortcut, so it’s reachable only from menus and buttons, and the page says “None”. Reset to defaults by the Shortcuts heading puts back every shortcut, and the one by Sending puts back Send with. Tooltips and the composer’s placeholder always show the shortcuts in use.

Shortcuts Claudette refuses

When the keys you pressed can’t be used, the row says why and the old shortcut stays. Press other keys, or Esc to give up:

Another command already has them, or a quick suffix does. The row names it: Ctrl+T is already used by “New tab”.
A letter, digit or punctuation key with no Ctrl, Alt or Cmd, since it would get in the way of typing: “Add Ctrl or Alt, so typing still works.” (“Add Cmd, Ctrl or Option, so typing still works.” on a Mac). Shift alone doesn’t help. Esc, Tab, Enter, Backspace, Delete and the function keys are fine on their own.

Go to tab 1–9

This is one shortcut for all nine digits. To change it, press any digit from 1 to 9 with the modifier keys you want, and the other eight follow. A shortcut on a digit, + or − also answers to the number pad’s key.

One key for both systems

Claudette stores a shortcut with a primary modifier, which is Ctrl on Windows and Linux and Cmd on macOS. A shortcut synced between a Windows machine and a Mac then means the same thing on both. Only on macOS is Ctrl a modifier of its own, separate from Cmd. On macOS the page writes shortcuts with symbols, such as ⌘⇧H.

Quick suffixes

Each quick suffix can have its own shortcut, set in the page’s Quick suffixes section and checked for conflicts the same way. Quick suffixes explains them.

Keys that can’t be changed

The page lists these under the shortcuts:

In the composer, Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+V pastes text as it is, however long (Attachments and large pastes).
In the new tab picker, 1 to 9 pick a folder. In the quick suffixes menu, they pick a suffix.

The editor’s keys

In a Project Files tab, these keys also can’t be changed:

Action	Windows and Linux	macOS
Save the file	`Ctrl+S`	`Cmd+S`
Save every file	`Ctrl+Alt+S`	`Cmd+Option+S`
Replace	`Ctrl+H`	`Cmd+Option+F`
Go to a line	`Ctrl+G`	`Ctrl+G`
Wrap long lines	`Alt+Z`	`Option+Z`
Next file	`Ctrl+PageDown`	`Cmd+Option+→`
Previous file	`Ctrl+PageUp`	`Cmd+Option+←`

Settings

Both of these are in Settings → Keyboard, and both sync to your other machines when settings sync is on.

Setting	Default
Send with	Enter, with Shift+Enter for a new line
Each command’s shortcut	Its default, listed in Keyboard shortcuts
