**Use keyboard shortcuts to move faster in AgentSky for Mac.**

These shortcuts work globally in the Mac app:

- ⌘N — Start a new chat.
- ⌘K — Open search / command palette (Everything mode: searches chats, trace library, artifacts, and memory).
- ⌘⌥[ — Collapse or expand the sidebar.
- ⌥⌘S — Open Side chat (asks the agent a question without interrupting the running task).
- ⌘E — Toggle dictation on and off.

Where: Mac app — these shortcuts work from any screen.

Good to know: ⌘K in the Mac app also opens Arena from the palette. Related: [Download and install AgentSky for Mac](https://agentsky.dev/help/mac-app-download), [Use voice dictation in a chat](https://agentsky.dev/help/dictation-overview).
