Keyboard Shortcuts
Full reference of all shortcuts and their use cases.
What Shortcuts Are Good For
Shortcuts are most useful when you want to:
- Show or hide Hepi quickly
- Start capture without stopping your current task
- Open a feature at the exact moment you need it
- Recover when the window feels hidden, stuck, or hard to reach
- Stay keyboard-first in Assistant, Quiz Search, or Meeting Assistant

| Capture actions | Region capture, text capture, hover capture | When you want Hepi to read something that is already on your screen |
| Chat actions | Focus input, submit, start a new chat | When you want to stay keyboard-first while asking questions |
| Quiz actions | Validate answer, capture question content | When you want faster quiz-oriented lookup and checking |
| Help and recovery | Help Panel, visibility, region-selector close | When you need to remember shortcuts or recover from a stuck state |
| SEB actions | Desktop toggle | When your SEB feature supports desktop switching |
Where To Check These In The App
The two fastest places to confirm shortcuts are:
- the
Help Panel, which shows the most relevant shortcuts for the current tab Settings → Hotkeys, where you can review or change the full shortcut list
The Help Panel is best when you need a quick reminder during active use. The Hotkeys settings page is better when you want to review the full default layout or remap conflicts.
How To Use This Reference
Start with your feature, not the key combination
If you are trying to solve a problem fast, first decide what you want to do:
- Control the window
- Capture something
- Ask a question faster
- Manage a live or SEB-related feature
Then look for the matching shortcut group. This is usually easier than scanning a long list of key combinations.
Customize only the shortcuts you actually use often
Most people do not need to remap everything. It is usually better to keep the system simple and only change the few shortcuts that conflict with your other apps.
Re-test after changing a shortcut
If you customize a shortcut, test it right away in the exact context where you plan to use it. A shortcut that works in one app may conflict in another.
Practical Notes
- Shortcuts can be customized.
- The defaults are designed to cover window control, capture, input, and quick feature switching.
- Some shortcuts only matter in certain features, such as quiz validation or SEB desktop switching.
- The Help Panel is often the fastest place to confirm what shortcuts are available right now.
- If a shortcut stops working, the cause is often a conflict, hidden window state, or current context rather than a missing feature.
Common Mistakes
- Changing many shortcuts at once and then forgetting which ones were changed.
- Assuming a shortcut is broken when another app is already using it.
- Testing a shortcut in the wrong context.
- Forgetting that window visibility and click-through can affect how Hepi feels on screen.
- Treating advanced or SEB-related shortcuts like everyday shortcuts before testing the full feature.
