Keyboard shortcuts

Shortcuts act on the current field, picker or viewer. An open overlay takes priority over the chat behind it.

Composer

When no control has focus in a chat, pressing a key focuses the composer. Your first character is included in the draft. Shortcuts, Tab navigation and Escape keep their usual actions, and open overlays or editors take priority.
