## 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 |

## Customize shortcuts

You can reassign any shortcut through Chrome’s extension settings.

1. **Open extension shortcuts**  
   Go to `chrome://extensions/shortcuts` in your address bar.
2. **Find Jam**  
   Scroll to find the Jam extension in the list.
3. **Edit a shortcut**  
   Click in the shortcut field next to the action you want to change.
4. **Press your new key combination**  
   Type the key combination you want to use. The shortcut is saved automatically.

Your updated shortcuts appear in the Jam extension tooltips immediately.

### 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.
