Keyboard shortcuts settings

Local and global keyboard shortcuts for Delegate, and how to customize them.

Customize keyboard shortcuts used throughout the application.

Local shortcuts

Active only while the app is focused.

Action	macOS	Windows	Description
New task	Cmd+N	Ctrl+N	Start a new task
Search	Cmd+K	Ctrl+K	Open spotlight search
Settings	Cmd+,	Ctrl+,	Open settings
Restart app	Not set by default	Not set by default	Restart the application

Global shortcuts

Active system-wide, even when the app is in the background.

Action	macOS	Windows	Description
Stop response	Cmd+Shift+C	Ctrl+Shift+C	Stop the current chat response
Send screenshot to Delegate	Cmd+Shift+Y	Ctrl+Shift+Y	Capture according to the General screenshot shortcut setting and attach it to the chat input

Global shortcut defaults are applied only if UiPath Assistant isn't already using that combination; otherwise they show as Not set.

Customizing shortcuts

To customize a keyboard shortcut, take the following steps:

1. Go to Settings → Keyboard shortcuts.
2. Find the action to modify.
3. Select the edit icon next to the shortcut.
4. Press your desired key combination.
5. Save the change.

Avoiding conflicts

If your chosen shortcut conflicts with a system or application shortcut, it may not work reliably. Use combinations with Cmd+Shift (macOS) or Ctrl+Shift (Windows) to minimize conflicts.
