Keyboard Shortcuts - Jam Documenation
Default shortcuts
Chrome limits browser extensions to 3 default keyboard shortcuts. Jam uses those 3 slots for the most frequently used actions. Desktop Recording does not have a default shortcut, but you can assign one yourself.
| Action | Mac | Windows / Linux |
|---|---|---|
| Capture screenshot | Shift + Cmd + S | Shift + Ctrl + S |
| Record tab | Shift + Cmd + Space | Shift + Ctrl + Space |
| Desktop Recording | No default, customize in extension settings | No default, customize in extension settings |

Why doesn't Desktop Recording have a default shortcut?
Chrome restricts each extension to 3 default keyboard shortcuts. Jam assigns those defaults to the three most commonly used features: screenshot, tab recording, and Instant Replay. You can add a custom shortcut for Desktop Recording through chrome://extensions/shortcuts.
Can I assign a shortcut to Desktop Recording?
Yes. Go to chrome://extensions/shortcuts, find Jam, and set a custom key combination for Desktop Recording.
What happens if my shortcut conflicts with another extension?
Your browser warns you about conflicts when you try to save the key combination. Choose a different combination that doesn’t conflict with your other extensions.
