# Keyboard shortcuts

Press ⌘⇧K on a Mac, or Ctrl+Shift+K on Windows and Linux, to open the Shortcuts dialog. You
can also press **Settings** at the bottom of the sidebar, then **Shortcuts** in its menu. The
dialog shows the keys for your own computer.

## Limits

- Single-key shortcuts, such as / on the Tasks page and Tab on a repository's page, work only when you are not typing in a text field. The message box keys work while you type in it.
- The logs drawer uses Ctrl+\` on a Mac too.
- In the macOS desktop app, a shortcut opens Sensei Spotlight only once you turn it on in Settings > This Mac > Spotlight. It is off by default, uses ⌘Space, and you can record other keys there. See [Open Spotlight with a keyboard shortcut](https://kosuke.ai/docs/help/desktop-and-mobile.md#open-spotlight-with-command-space).
