Keyboard shortcuts
Key combinations for TTS, the window and chat that work even on top of a game.
Keyboard shortcuts work system-wide: when the window is minimized or a game is open on top of it.
How to assign a shortcut
- Click the gear and open Keyboard shortcuts.
- Click an action's row and Press keys appears.
- Press the combination you want. Esc cancels recording.
Available actions
Text to speech:
- Turn text to speech on or off;
- Stop reading: cuts off the phrase and clears the queue;
- Skip message: moves on to the next phrase;
- Volume up and Volume down: in 10% steps;
- Mute the current speaker: the viewer whose message is playing right now is no longer read aloud.
Window:
- Game mode: Ctrl+G by default;
- Always on top;
- Click-through in game mode;
- Show or hide the window.
Chat:
- Chat input field: shows or hides the message field;
- New message sound.
Only Game mode is assigned by default, so the app doesn't intercept the keys of your games.
Rules
- A shortcut must include Ctrl, Shift, Alt or Win. Without them, you can only assign keys from F1 to F12.
- Letters, digits, F1-F12, space, Enter, Delete and the arrows are allowed.
- The keyboard layout doesn't matter: the physical key is what counts.
If the shortcut is already taken by another program or another action, the app shows an error under the row: choose a different one.
You can't remove a single shortcut on its own. Reset to defaults at the bottom of the page restores all shortcuts to their defaults.
