Keyboard Shortcuts

All keyboard shortcuts available in InterMIND — global, meetings, and chat.

InterMIND uses the physical Alt key (called Option on macOS) for most in-meeting shortcuts, so they work the same on every keyboard layout.

Global

These work anywhere in the app.

Shortcut	Action
Cmd/Ctrl + /	Open the Ask AI help drawer
Esc	Close the topmost panel — closes drawers and sidebars in order: Cockpit settings → chat sidebar → participants sidebar. Respects open modals.

Active only inside a meeting room. Disabled while a modal dialog is open.

Shortcut	Action
Alt/Option + M	Toggle your microphone
Alt/Option + C	Toggle your camera
Alt/Option + T	Toggle real-time translation
Alt/Option + H	Toggle the chat sidebar
Alt/Option + P	Toggle the participants sidebar
Alt/Option + L	Cycle the stage layout
Alt/Option + R	Cycle chat / participants sidebar width

When the chat surface is focused (in-meeting sidebar or a standalone channel on the Channels page).

Shortcut	Action
Cmd/Ctrl + F	Open chat search
Enter (in message box)	Send the message
Shift + Enter (in message box)	Insert a newline
Alt/Option + ↑	Recall your previous message
Alt/Option + ↓	Recall the next message in history

Alt vs Option — same physical key. On macOS it's labelled Option; on Windows / Linux it's Alt. Shortcuts use the key's physical position, so they work regardless of language layout.
Modals take priority — when a dialog is open (sign-in, settings, file picker), meeting shortcuts are suspended so you can type freely.
No conflict with the browser — InterMIND avoids Cmd/Ctrl combos that overlap with browser shortcuts (Ctrl+T, Ctrl+W, etc.), except for Cmd/Ctrl+F in chat (intentional) and Cmd/Ctrl+/ for help.
