# Keyboard shortcuts

You can browse and send messages using only your keyboard. This page gives you an overview of the available keyboard shortcuts. Some operations have multiple shortcuts and all can be customized. Use those you find most convenient.

## Changing shortcuts

If you wish to change the default keyboard setup:

1. Go to Preferences > Advanced > Shortcuts.
2. Select the configuration you wish to change, and click "Edit".
3. Find the operation you wish to edit by typing in the "Quick find" field or clicking the list.
4. Click "Edit" and enter a sequence of keys to associate with the event.

You can also download keyboard setups.

Note:

- `⌘` refers to the Apple key, also known as `Command` or `Cmd`.
- `Alt` and `Option` are the same key.
