Shortcuts stay out of your way while you type. When your cursor is in a text field, such as the chat bar, Automations ignores shortcuts so you can type freely. Open command menu is the exception, and works even while you're typing.

Navigation shortcuts

The G shortcuts are sequential. Press G, release it, then press the second key.

Automation shortcuts

These shortcuts work while you're viewing a single automation.

ActionShortcut
Toggle automation on or offE
Run automationR
Duplicate automationD
Modify in chatM
Delete automationDelete

Observera

Toggle, Run, Duplicate, and Modify in chat take effect as soon as you press the key, with no confirmation. Delete opens a confirmation dialog first.

Run only works when the automation is ready to run. If it's still loading or already running, pressing R does nothing.
