The Mac app answers to these keys, and so does an iPad with a keyboard: hold **⌘** on the iPad to see them. **About → Shortcuts** lists them too.

## Chats

- **⌘N** or **⌘T**: a new chat (a new tab) in the card you are working in. **File → New Chat In** offers every streamline.
- **⌘W**: close the selected tab (the chat stays under Chats). With no tab open, it closes the window.
- **Return**: send. **Shift-Return** or **Option-Return**: a new line. **⌘-Return**: always sends.
- **⌥⌘I**: show or hide the overview beside the card. **⌥⌘L**: show or hide **Chats**.
- **⌘F**: open **Chats** and search the chats of this streamline.
- **⌃⇥** / **⌃⇧⇥**, or **⇧⌘]** / **⇧⌘[**: the next or previous tab in the card.
- **Right-click a tab** (on an iPad or iPhone, **press and hold** it): that chat's options: **Rename…**, **Speak Replies** (where voice is on), **Copy Chat Reference**, **Close Tab (Keep the Chat)**, **Archive Chat**, **Delete Chat…**.
- **⇧⌘C**: copy the selected chat's reference.
- **Chat → Delete Chat…** (no key, on purpose): delete the selected chat, after asking.
- **⇧⌘B**: scan a code, where the streamline scans (**Chat → Scan Code** on the Mac).
- **⇧⌘L**: start listening: talk instead of typing (**Chat → Start Listening**).
- **⇧⌘A**: attach a file (**File → Attach File…**). You can also drag files from Finder onto a chat, or paste with **⌘V**.

All of these are in the **Chat** menu, except New, Close and Attach File in **File** and Find in **Edit**.

## Cards and windows

- **⌘-click a tab**: put it side by side with the selected chat.
- **⌘-click a sidebar row**: put that card beside what is on screen. On an iPad without a keyboard, **Side by Side** does the same (On the iPad and iPhone, GS-7).
- **⇧⌘N**: **Open in New Window**, moving the card on screen into a window of its own.
- **⌘⌫**: **Forget This Arrangement**, when a kept arrangement is on screen.
- **⌘,**: Settings.
- **⌘Q**: quit.

## The Library

- **⌘S**: **Save** (on this device) or **Stage…** (in an organization) the streamline, brief, card template or form you are editing.
- **⌘[**: back to the previous Library page.

## Sheets

- **Esc** closes a sheet or cancels a form without sending it.
- **Return** chooses the highlighted button, such as **Allow** on the AI consent screen.

## What no key does

No shortcut confirms a confirmation card, submits a secure form or signs you in. Those are always a deliberate click on the button, so a stray keystroke can never submit a sale or send a card number. See Confirmation cards (AS-2).
