Keyboard Shortcuts

Keyboard shortcuts exist to remove friction — not to be memorized. You only need one to get real value.

The One Shortcut That Matters

Quick Tag Lookup

Windows / Linux

Ctrl + Shift + K

macOS

Cmd + Shift + K

This opens global search across your tagged AI conversations. If you remember nothing else from this page, remember this.

When Shortcuts Are Worth Using

Shortcuts pay off when:

  • You already know what you're looking for
  • You don't want to break focus
  • The mouse feels slower than thought

If you're still exploring casually, you don't need them yet.

Navigating Search With the Keyboard

Once Quick Tag Lookup is open:

Start typing the cursor is already focused
moves through results
Enter opens the selected conversation
Escape closes the window

That's the entire flow.

Tagging Without the Mouse

When the floating menu is active:

  • Type a tag
  • Press Enter to add it
  • Press Escape to clear or minimize

Tagging should feel instant. If it doesn't, slow down and simplify your tags.

Customizing the Shortcut

If the default shortcut conflicts with something you use:

1
Open chrome://extensions/shortcuts
2
Find ThinkForge Chat
3
Change the Quick Tag Lookup shortcut

Pick something easy to hit. Perfection doesn't matter here.

Accessibility Note

All ThinkForge Chat features are usable without a mouse.

If you rely on keyboard navigation or screen readers, everything critical is reachable.

Bottom Line

Shortcuts aren't required. But once Quick Tag Lookup becomes muscle memory, it's hard to go back.
