Open **Keyboard shortcuts** when you want to look up the active binding, switch to an editor-style preset, or customize a command. The dialog changes the editor’s actual key map; the reference table shows only the default ChatCut preset.

## Open and find shortcuts

Open the avatar menu in the editor’s top-right corner and select **Keyboard shortcuts**. You can also press Mod+Alt+K, where Mod is Cmd on macOS and Ctrl on Windows/Linux.

-   Select a key in the keyboard map: show only commands that use that key. Clear the key filter to show all commands again.
-   Open **All types**: filter commands by groups such as Playback, Edit, Navigation, Markers, View, or Timeline.
-   Enter a name in **Search commands**: find commands by text.

## Choose a preset

Open the preset picker in the top-right and choose **ChatCut**, **Premiere Pro**, **DaVinci Resolve**, **Final Cut Pro**, **CapCut**, or **KWL**. The command list switches to that preset’s bindings; commands the preset does not override keep their base bindings.

## Customize and save

1.  Select the binding beside a command: enter recording mode.
2.  Press a new key combination: if there is no conflict, it replaces the current binding immediately. Press Esc to cancel.
3.  If ChatCut shows a conflict or browser-reserved warning, choose another combination or confirm an allowed override.
4.  Select **Reset to default** beside an edited command: restore that command’s binding from the active preset.
5.  Select **Save as new preset…**: name the full setup and save it under **Your presets**.

Signed-in shortcut settings sync to the account. Signed-out settings stay in that browser; the first sign-in can copy local preferences when the account has none.
