# Keyboard Shortcuts

> Trigger screenshots, tab recordings, and Instant Replay from your keyboard. Customize any shortcut to fit your workflow.

Control the Jam extension faster with keyboard shortcuts. Skip the clicks and capture bugs, record sessions, or take screenshots directly from your keyboard.

Hover over any button in the Jam extension to see its current shortcut in a tooltip.

## Default shortcuts

<Note>
  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.

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="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`.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="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.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="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.
