# Shortcuts and commands

> Every default keyboard shortcut in Mibyan Desktop, how to rebind them, and every slash command

In the tables below, **Mod** means `Cmd` on macOS and `Ctrl` on Windows and Linux. Where the key is literally `Ctrl` (even on macOS), it says `Ctrl`.

## Rebind any shortcut

Open **Settings, Keyboard Shortcuts** (or use the shortcut for it). Search the list, click a shortcut to **rebind** it, and press the new keys. If a combination is already used, the panel shows what else it is bound to. **Reset to default** restores one, and **Reset all** restores every shortcut. Some actions ship unbound so you can assign one.
