Defaults. Every key is rebindable in the app

Every hotkey, by the moment you need it

Inside the app, Ctrl+Alt+H shows this list live with your own bindings, or press Ctrl+Alt+Enter and just type what you want: the palette runs it and shows you the key for next time.

New here? These three cover most days

`Ctrl+Alt+B`	Wrote a message? Fix & improve it before sending: the selection, or the whole box if nothing is selected.	B = Better
`Ctrl+Alt+J`	Rather talk than type? Speak, review the text, Enter sends it.	J = Just say it
`Ctrl+Alt+W`	Hit an unknown word? Select it: meaning, example, saved for practice.	W = Word

Before you send: make it right, or make it land better

One key fixes any language; it detects what you wrote. Add Shift to see the result in a window instead of changing your text.

`Ctrl+Alt+B`	Fix & improve: select part to fix only that part, or nothing to fix the whole field. Any language, auto-detected.	B = Better
`Ctrl+Alt+Shift+B`	See the fix in a window WITHOUT touching your text: proof before you trust it.	the Shift rule: B does it, Shift+B shows it
`Ctrl+Alt+Z`	Changed your mind? Restore the text from before the last fix.	Z = undo, as everywhere

Answering someone

`Ctrl+Alt+Y`	ONE message needs an answer: select just that message → a draft reply.	Y = repl-Y
`Ctrl+Alt+T`	A long back-and-forth: select the WHOLE conversation → it drafts the next message.	T = Thread
`Ctrl+Alt+Shift+T`	Same, but you say WHAT to reply first; the thread supplies context and phrasing.	guided Thread
`Ctrl+Alt+I`	Anything else: type your own instruction and it runs on the selection. Select nothing and it simply answers you, wherever you are.	I = Instruction

Translate

The setup wizard points these at your languages: one into yours, one into the language you work in.

`Ctrl+Alt+D`	Translate into YOUR language, whatever you picked in the wizard.	D = Decode it into mine
`Ctrl+Alt+F`	Translate into your work language, for the message you are about to send.	F = Foreign, the language you work in
`Ctrl+Alt+Shift+D`	Reading something you do not understand? Shows it in your language in a popup, leaving the original alone.	the Shift rule: D translates, Shift+D shows
`Ctrl+Alt+Shift+F`	Show it in your work language in a window, your text untouched.	the Shift rule again

Speak instead of typing

`Ctrl+Alt+J`	Chat messages: speak in any language → clean message in your chosen “Send in” language → review → Enter pastes it.	J = Just say it
`Ctrl+Alt+N`	Everywhere else: toggle, speak, toggle. Polished text lands at the cursor, no popup.	N = dictatioN

While reading

`Ctrl+Alt+W`	Unknown word, phrase, or sentence: explained, read aloud, saved with its sentence.	W = Word
`Ctrl+Alt+U`	Dense paragraph? Rewritten in plain English at your level. Shown, not pasted.	U = Understand
`Ctrl+Alt+X`	Text you cannot select (Citrix, scans, video): snip it, on-device OCR.	X = eXtract
`Ctrl+Alt+G`	Worth keeping? Save the selection as a note; it comes back later as practice.	G = Grab it

In a live meeting

Everything stays on your PC; capture never starts without the tray showing it.

`Ctrl+Alt+Q`	Missed what was just said? Read the last minute as text.	Q = Quick replay
`Ctrl+Alt+E`	Worth keeping? Record → transcript, summary, and your speech mistakes collected.	E = rEcord

Learn it & make it yours

Plus custom command slots: your own prompts behind your own hotkeys, with ready-made presets one click away (Settings → Hotkeys). The diplomatic rewrite, the backlog item, the prompt improver, the contract explainer and more.

`Ctrl+Alt+Enter`	The palette: type what you want in your own words, Enter runs it and teaches the key.	Enter opens, Enter runs
`Ctrl+Alt+H`	The cheat sheet, live with your current bindings.	H = Help
`Ctrl+Alt+O`	Settings: connection, languages, prompts, theme.	O = Options
`Ctrl+Alt+L`	This month's correction log (Shift+L: your own language's log).	L = Log
`Ctrl+Alt+P`	Pause EVERY RefineLoop hotkey, for a game, a screen share, or an app that wants the same keys. Press again to take them back.	P = Pause

Tip: print this page (Ctrl+P). It's formatted to be pinned next to your monitor.
