Pro Tips

  • Keep the default shortcuts - they're designed to be memorable and conflict-free
  • Set Cmd+Ctrl+C as muscle memory - it becomes second nature after a few uses
  • Select text first, then press Cmd+Ctrl+C to open composer with pre-filled content (when share extension is enabled)
  • Use Cmd+Ctrl+S to quickly check upcoming posts without opening the full app
  • Customize shortcuts if you have muscle memory from other apps you want to preserve
  • Test for conflicts - try your shortcuts in other apps to ensure they don't clash
  • Reset to defaults if you experiment with custom shortcuts and want to start fresh
  • Global shortcuts work even when Statuz is in the background - no need to have it visible
