Keyboard shortcuts
You can do most things in Lumno from the keyboard. This page lists the default shortcuts, how to change them, and the keys you can use in the command bar, on the new tab page, in the switcher and while clipping. Where a click does the same thing, it's listed next to the key.
Default shortcuts
| Action | Shortcut |
|---|---|
| Open the command bar | ⌘Ctrl⇧ShiftK |
| Open the recent tab switcher | ⌥AltQ |
| Open the command bar with the current page URL | Not set by default |
| Copy the current page URL | Not set by default |
The last two may show "Not set" after you install Lumno. To assign shortcuts to them, follow the steps below. The Firefox version uses a different default shortcut for the command bar; see
Browser compatibility.
Change a shortcut
Browsers manage extension shortcuts on a separate page:
- Type
chrome://extensions/shortcutsin the address bar (edge://extensions/shortcutsin Edge). - Find Lumno, then click the pencil icon next to the action you want to change.
- Press the new key combination.
If you're used to
Arc or
Zen, set "Open command bar" to ⌘CtrlT.
If the shortcut doesn't work in Dia, change the scope next to it from "In Dia" to "Global".
Keys in the command bar
Select a result
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
| ↑ ↓ | Move the selection up or down |
| Hold ⌘Ctrl, release it, then press 0–9 | Numbers appear next to the results; press one to open that result |
If you turn on "Single-press Command to show number jump" in Labs in Settings, one press of ⌘Ctrl shows the numbers, and you open a result by holding ⌘Ctrl and pressing its number. ⌘Ctrl then no longer opens results in the background; middle-click still does.
On macOS, you can also turn on "Mac keyboard navigation" in Labs to select the next and previous result with ⌃N⌃N and ⌃P⌃P.
Open a result
| Key or click | Action |
|---|---|
| ↩Enter, or click a result | Open the result, or switch to it if it's an open tab |
| ⌥Alt↩Enter, or hold ⌥Alt and click | Open in the current tab instead of a new one |
| ⇧Shift↩Enter, or hold ⇧Shift and click | If the result is an open tab, open another copy in a new tab |
| ⌘Ctrl↩Enter, hold ⌘Ctrl and click, or middle-click | Open in a background tab and keep the command bar open, so you can open the next one |
While you hold ⌥Alt, ⇧Shift or ⌘Ctrl, the hint on the right of each result changes to match.

| Key | Action |
|---|---|

| Release ⌥Alt, press ↩Enter, or click a tab | Switch to the selected tab |
| Esc, or click outside the switcher | Close the switcher and stay on the current tab |
If you've changed the switcher's shortcut, hold the modifier key from your own shortcut instead.
Keys while clipping

Web clip.
FAQ
What if the shortcut doesn't work?
First, make sure you're not on a restricted page such as chrome:// settings or the Chrome Web Store. Then check chrome://extensions/shortcuts for a conflict with another extension. In Dia, set the scope to Global.
