Keyboard shortcuts

Every key Sayli answers to, which ones work from any app, and how to change them.


Sayli is built to stay out of the way. The four keys that matter most work from any app, so your hands never leave the call you are in.

On Windows and Linux

Keys are shown as they appear on a Mac. On Windows and Linux, use Ctrl wherever you see ⌘, and Alt wherever you see ⌥.

From any app

These work wherever you are, without clicking on Sayli first.

ShortcutWhat it does
⌥+↵Help me. Opens Sayli and tells you what to say next
⌥+⇧+↵Read my screen, and answer from what is on it
⌘+\Show or hide Sayli. During a call it folds the pane into the pill instead
⌥+SpaceSummon Sayli to the front
Learn one: Opt Enter

⌥+↵ is the one worth muscle memory. It works from any app, so you never switch to Sayli to ask for help: it opens and answers in one press.

Inside Sayli

These work while the Sayli window is in front.

ShortcutWhat it does
⌘+↵In the live window: send what you typed. With the box empty, it fires Help me
⌘+BMark a moment in the call
⌘+NStart a meeting
⌘+JAsk from any screen
⌘+KJump to anything: a call, a page, an action
⌘+FFind on this page
⌘+PExport as PDF
⌘+[ and ⌘+]Back and forward
⌥+⌘+↑Up a level
⌘+1 to ⌘+9Go to a section
⌘+,Open Settings
⌘+↑ and the other arrowsMove the Sayli window. Hold to keep sliding
⇧+⌘+=, ⌘+-, ⌘+0Zoom in, zoom out, actual size
/Jump to the search field on a list
escClose what is open in front of you

Change any of them

Open Settings, then Shortcuts. Every shortcut in the two tables above can be changed, except four that follow the conventions of every other app: ⌘+↵ to send, ⌘+, for Settings, ⌘+1 to ⌘+9 for sections, and the arrows that move the window.

If another app already owns a key you pick, Sayli says so instead of quietly taking it.

Esc, in context

One key, a few jobs. esc closes whatever is open in front of you. It dismisses a sheet, closes a menu, or clears a search, depending on where you are. It never ends a call.
