Shortcuts manual
Important: Requires either , Chrome Dev or Chrome Canary
for sticky popup—to keep the popup open after entering a command.
See https://issues.chromium.org/issues/40057101 and Chrome 127: New action.openPopup
API for more information.
Usage
Alt+Space (Ctrl+Space on Windows) is the main keyboard shortcut. Use it to open the extension’s popup—aka “Vim” mode. Press Slash to search commands and Escape to cancel.
If you need explanations of the shortcuts—Right-click the Shortcuts toolbar button and select “Documentation”.
The keyboard shortcuts are fully customizable.
Command palette
The command palette is the main way to search functionality in Shortcuts.
- To open the command palette—Press either Slash, Control+KeyF or click the search field in the extension’s popup.
- In the search field, type what you’re looking for—results appear as you type.
- Choose a suggestion and press Enter to activate the selection.
Configure keyboard shortcuts
Navigate to chrome://extensions/shortcuts to configure global keyboard shortcuts.
You can for example bind Ctrl+Y to open a new tab to the right, Ctrl+B to duplicate the current tab, or change the default shortcut—to open the popup—to Alt+J.
You can also configure the popup keys by importing and exporting settings in the “Options” page—Right-click the Shortcuts toolbar button and select “Options”.

In practice?
Alt+J / Alt+K are the main keyboard shortcuts I use for navigating to open the Shortcuts menu and click using Link Hints.
Finally, to complement the built-in keyboard shortcuts, I’ve configured Ctrl+Y to open a new tab to the right, Ctrl+B to duplicate the current tab, Alt+W to web search selected text, Alt+Y to copy URLs, and Alt+I to focus text fields.
Commands
Commands are actions that can be performed with keyboard shortcuts or mouse clicks in the extension’s popup.
About keyboard shortcuts
- ⌃ is the Control key.
- ⌥ is the Alt or Option key on macOS.
- ⇧ is the Shift key.
- ⌘ is the Windows or Command key on macOS.
Keyboard shortcuts in the extension’s popup are defined with physical keys. These keys are shown below. Blue keys are present on all standard keyboards while green keys are only available on some keyboards.
See Keyboard Event code
Value Tables for a complete reference.
You will find the list of code values and informative symbols.
Tip: You can click on the keys with code values to show the keys to press (e.g., clicking on KeyJ will show “j” on a US keyboard).
