Actions without a default shortcut

These actions have no shortcut until you give them one: Stop loading, Add or remove from Essentials, Go back to pinned page, Duplicate tab, Pin / unpin tab, Hibernate background tabs, Close other tabs, Move tab to new window, Collapse / expand group, Remove tab from group, New workspace, Edit workspace, Privacy dashboard, Turn protections on/off for this site, Extensions, and Read later (open the list).

Keys in other places

These keys work where they are shown and can’t be changed:

WhereKeys
Address bar and floating searchEnter opens, Alt+Enter opens in a new tab, Esc closes the suggestions
Command palette↑ and ↓ to choose, Enter to open, Ctrl+Delete to close a tab
LinksHold Alt and click a link to open it in a link preview (Settings › Links & mouse)
Settings opened over the pageEsc closes them

Change a shortcut

  1. Open Settings › Keyboard shortcuts. Type in Search shortcuts to find an action by name or by key.
  2. Click the action’s shortcut. It shows Press keys….
  3. Press the new combination. Press Esc to cancel.
  • A shortcut needs Ctrl, Alt or Shift, unless it is a function key such as F4. Plain letters would get in the way of typing.
  • The new shortcut replaces the action’s default ones.
  • If the keys already belong to another action, Luma tells you which one. Click Use it here instead to move them.
  • Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, Ctrl+X, Ctrl+A, Ctrl+Z, Ctrl+Y, Alt+F4 and Alt+Tab are reserved for editing text and for Windows: they can’t be assigned.
  • Reset next to an action puts its defaults back; Reset all does it for every action.

Extensions can bring their own shortcuts: you find them on the Extensions page. Luma has no mouse gestures.
