ZeroTwo supports keyboard shortcuts for common chat actions and canvas editing. This page lists all available shortcuts.
Shortcuts marked Canvas work inside the Canvas editor panel only. They do not apply in the main chat input area.
Chat Shortcuts

| Submit message | Enter | Enter |

Canvas Editor Shortcuts
These shortcuts work when the cursor is focused inside the Canvas editor panel.

Markdown-Style Shortcuts (Type and Space)
These shortcuts are triggered by typing the characters and then pressing Space. They work in the Canvas rich text editor.

Slash Commands

Typing / anywhere in the Canvas rich text editor opens a menu of available commands (insert table, image, code block, etc.).
Notes
Canvas shortcuts only: Formatting shortcuts (Cmd+B, Cmd+I, etc.) and markdown-style shortcuts only work within the Canvas editor panel. They do not affect the main chat input area, which uses a plain text field.
Mobile: Keyboard shortcuts are not available on mobile devices. On mobile, formatting is accessed through toolbar icons and touch gestures within the Canvas editor.
Platform differences: On some Linux distributions, Ctrl+Shift+Z for Redo may conflict with system-level shortcuts. If Redo doesn’t work, try Ctrl+Y instead.
The most useful shortcut for workflow speed: Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+O to open a new chat instantly from anywhere in ZeroTwo, without navigating back to the home screen.
Coming Soon
Additional shortcuts may be added in future ZeroTwo releases. Check this page or follow @ZeroTwo on social media for updates.
