Keyboard shortcuts and quick launchers
The fastest way to turn NexoPad into a daily tool is to learn its shortcuts.
The extension includes browser-level shortcuts and other launchers that work by typing inside the page. If one conflicts with your system or another extension, you can change it from the browser shortcuts settings.
On macOS, where you see Ctrl, you will normally use Cmd in the equivalent commands defined by the extension.
Built-in shortcuts
| Action | Default shortcut | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Open main popup | Ctrl+Space / Cmd+Space | Opens the general extension popup. |
| Open notebook | Alt+Q | Takes you to the full notebook to edit and review notes. |
| Open direct snippets | Ctrl+Shift+Space / Cmd+Shift+Space | Launches direct snippet insertion. |
| Open notes popup | Alt+C | Opens the quick view centered on notes. |
| Open side panel | No default shortcut | You can assign it manually from the browser settings. |
Other launchers worth knowing
- Type
sysin the browser omnibox to search links and launch dynamic URLs. - Type
//inside an editable field to open the floating snippet picker on top of the current page. - Use
Ctrl+KorCmd+Kinside the page to open the NexoPad omnibar and search snippets, notes, and links. - If a shortcut gets in your way, change the combination in
chrome://extensions/shortcuts.
Important:If you already use
Alt+C for another tool, review it early: on some pages NexoPad can also use that combination to capture selected text as a clip.
