Adding Keyboard Shortcuts Guide

Steps to Add a New Hotkey

1. Update Hotkey Constant

In packages/types/src/hotkey.ts, add the new id to the HotkeyId union — it's the source of truth HotkeyEnum is typed against:

export type HotkeyId =
  | 'addUserMessage'
  // existing...
  | 'saveTopic';

2. Register Default Hotkey

In packages/const/src/hotkeys.ts, KeyEnum and combineKeys are already defined locally in this file, so no import is needed — add the entry to HotkeyEnum and to HOTKEYS_REGISTRATION:

export const HotkeyEnum = {
  // existing...
  SaveTopic: 'saveTopic',
} as const satisfies Record<string, HotkeyId>;

export const HOTKEYS_REGISTRATION: HotkeyRegistration = [
  // existing...
  {
    group: HotkeyGroupEnum.Conversation,
    id: HotkeyEnum.SaveTopic,
    keys: combineKeys([KeyEnum.Alt, 'n']),
    scopes: [HotkeyScopeEnum.Chat],
  },
];

3. Add i18n Translation

In packages/locales/src/default/hotkey.ts:

const hotkey: HotkeyI18nTranslations = {
  saveTopic: {
    desc: '保存当前话题并新建一个话题',
    title: '保存话题',
  },
};

4. Create and Register Hook

In src/hooks/useHotkeys/chatScope.ts:

export const useSaveTopicHotkey = () => {
  const openNewTopicOrSaveTopic = useChatStore((s) => s.openNewTopicOrSaveTopic);
  return useHotkeyById(HotkeyEnum.SaveTopic, openNewTopicOrSaveTopic);
};

export const useRegisterChatHotkeys = () => {
  useSaveTopicHotkey();
  // ...other hotkeys
};

5. Add Tooltip (Optional)

const saveTopicHotkey = useUserStore(settingsSelectors.getHotkeyById(HotkeyEnum.SaveTopic));

<Tooltip hotkey={saveTopicHotkey} title={t('saveTopic.title', { ns: 'hotkey' })}>
  <Button icon={<SaveOutlined />} onClick={openNewTopicOrSaveTopic} />
</Tooltip>;

Best Practices

1. Scope: Choose global or chat scope based on functionality
2. Grouping: Place in appropriate group (System/Layout/Conversation)
3. Conflict check: Ensure no conflict with system/browser shortcuts
4. Platform: Use KeyEnum.Mod instead of hardcoded Ctrl or Cmd
5. Clear description: Provide title and description for users

Troubleshooting

• Not working: Check scope and RegisterHotkeys hook
• Not in settings: Verify HOTKEYS_REGISTRATION config
• Conflict: HotkeyInput component shows warnings
• Page-specific: Ensure correct scope activation
