# Keyboard shortcuts and the command palette

Source: https://wassuply.com/docs/keyboard-shortcuts/
Updated: 2026-10-30 · Wassuply 1.0.4 for Windows and macOS

> Wassuply's main shortcut is the command palette: press Ctrl+K on Windows or Cmd+K on a Mac to search pages, WhatsApp accounts and campaigns, then press Enter to open one. On a Mac the menu bar adds more, such as Cmd+, for Settings and Cmd+1 to Cmd+7 for the main screens. Escape closes the top-most dialog.

In the app: Sidebar → Quick search

## Key facts

- Press Ctrl+K on Windows or Cmd+K on a Mac to open Wassuply's command palette, which searches pages, WhatsApp accounts and campaigns.
- Wassuply's command palette shows at most 15 results at a time, so type a few letters to narrow it down.
- On a Mac, Cmd+1 to Cmd+7 open Today, Dashboard, Accounts, WhatsApp, Broadcasts, Cold Campaigns and Warmup.
- Escape in Wassuply closes only the top-most overlay, so a confirmation opened over a form closes without closing the form.
- On a Mac, Cmd+W hides Wassuply's window while campaigns keep running, and Cmd+Q quits the app.

## What keyboard shortcuts does Wassuply have?

Wassuply has one shortcut on both systems, the command palette, plus the usual keys for forms and dialogs. On a Mac, the menu bar adds shortcuts for Settings, new messages and the main screens. Wassuply uses Ctrl on Windows and Cmd on a Mac, and the app shows the right one for your computer.

| Keys | Where | What it does |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Ctrl+K (Windows) / Cmd+K (Mac) | Anywhere in Wassuply's own screens | Opens or closes the command palette |
| Up / Down arrows | Command palette, dropdowns | Moves the highlight |
| Enter | Command palette, dropdowns, single-line fields | Opens the highlighted result, picks the option, or submits the field |
| Escape | Any overlay | Closes the top-most palette, dropdown, dialog or drawer |
| Tab / Shift+Tab | Dialogs | Moves between controls and stays inside the dialog |
| Left / Right arrows | Dashboard App Tour | Moves between tour sections |

Normal text editing keys such as copy, paste and undo work in every text field. Wassuply has no setting to change or add shortcuts.

## How do you use the command palette?

The command palette is a search box that jumps straight to a page, a WhatsApp number or a campaign. The sidebar reminds you of it with a **Quick search** hint, and the Dashboard shows it too.

**How to jump anywhere with the command palette**

1. **Open it**: Press Ctrl+K on Windows or Cmd+K on a Mac. The box **Search pages, accounts, campaigns...** appears.
2. **Type a few letters**: Pages match by name or group, numbers by name or phone, campaigns by name.
3. **Pick a result**: Use the Up and Down arrows, or hover with the mouse. Each result is tagged page, account or campaign.
4. **Open it**: Press Enter or click. A page opens, a number opens in its WhatsApp view, and a campaign opens its detail page.

Press Escape, press Ctrl+K or Cmd+K again, or click outside the box to close it. The palette shows up to 15 results; with an empty box you only see the first 15 pages, so type to find the rest. While the palette is open, the WhatsApp view is hidden behind it.

## Which pages can the command palette open?

The palette lists 39 pages in eight groups. Typing a group name, such as tools or leads, lists every page in that group.

| Group | Pages |
| --- | --- |
| Overview | Dashboard, App Guide |
| Manage | Accounts, Account Stats, Groups, Proxies |
| Messaging | Campaigns, Broadcasts, Outreach, Sequences, Sequence Builder, Templates, Contacts, Lists |
| Outreach | Outreach Pipeline, Outreach Prospects, Outreach Blacklist, Outreach Scripts |
| Tools | Warmup, Warmup Progress, Analytics, Account Health, Message Queue, Send Message, WA Link Generator, Blackout Hours, Sending Calculator, Group Builder, Group Extractor |
| Leads | Lead Finder, Phone Verifier, List Cleaner, List Deduplicator, Contact Export |
| Support | Activity Logs, WA Ban Appeal, Support |
| Settings | Settings, My Account |

> **Tip:** A few palette names differ from the sidebar: **Account Health** is Health & Risk, **WA Ban Appeal** is Ban Recovery, **WA Link Generator** is WA Link, and **Phone Verifier** is Phone Verify. Lead Finder, Phone Verifier and List Cleaner are coming soon.

Some pages are not in the palette: Today, Warmup Network, My Pod, AI Consultant, Voice Library, Group Manager and the Broadcasts sub-pages. Reach those from the sidebar, or type in the sidebar's **Search menu...** box, which searches every menu item.

## What shortcuts does the Mac menu bar add?

On a Mac, Wassuply has a full menu bar, and its shortcuts work even while a WhatsApp view has the keyboard. Windows has no menu bar, so these keys do not apply there.

| Keys | Menu | What it does |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Cmd+, | Wassuply → Settings... | Opens Settings |
| Cmd+N | File → New Broadcast | Starts a new broadcast |
| Cmd+Shift+N | File → Send a Message | Opens Send Message |
| Cmd+1 | Go → Today | Opens Today |
| Cmd+2 | Go → Dashboard | Opens the Dashboard |
| Cmd+3 | Go → Accounts | Opens Accounts |
| Cmd+4 | Go → WhatsApp | Opens the WhatsApp view |
| Cmd+5 | Go → Broadcasts | Opens Broadcast Campaigns |
| Cmd+6 | Go → Cold Campaigns | Opens Cold Campaigns |
| Cmd+7 | Go → Warmup | Opens Warmup |
| Cmd+W | File → Close Window | Hides the window; Wassuply and running jobs keep going |
| Cmd+Q | Wassuply → Quit Wassuply | Quits after disconnecting sessions cleanly |
| Cmd+M | Window → Minimize | Minimises the window |
| Cmd+H | Wassuply → Hide Wassuply | Hides the app |
| Cmd+0, Cmd+Plus, Cmd+Minus | View | Actual size, zoom in, zoom out |

The **Go** menu also has Contacts and Activity Logs, and **Help** links the Wassuply Guide, Support, the Customer Portal and wassuply.com. If **Warn before closing** is on in [Settings](https://wassuply.com/docs/settings/), Cmd+Q asks first while a campaign or warm-up is running.

## Which keys work in forms, lists and dialogs?

Most single-line fields submit with Enter, and most overlays close with Escape. Specific cases:

- **Enter submits:** the sign-in fields, **Add Account**, gift and activation codes, **Your Name** in Settings, opt-out keywords and many other one-line inputs.
- **Renaming a campaign in a list:** Enter saves the new name, Escape restores the old one.
- **Editing a planned wait in a campaign's send plan:** Enter saves, Escape cancels.
- **Dropdowns:** Up and Down move, Enter picks, Escape closes just the dropdown.
- **Confirmation dialogs:** the confirm button has focus when the dialog opens, so Enter confirms. Press Escape to cancel.

> **Caution:** Because Enter confirms a dialog, read it before pressing Enter on actions such as **Remove Account**, which deletes that number's session from your computer.

## Do shortcuts work inside the WhatsApp view?

Not Wassuply's own shortcuts. When you click into a number's WhatsApp Web view, your keystrokes go to WhatsApp Web, so Ctrl+K or Cmd+K reaches WhatsApp instead of opening the palette. Click anywhere in Wassuply's sidebar first, then press the shortcut.

Mac menu bar shortcuts, such as Cmd+1 or Cmd+,, still work from inside the WhatsApp view. See [WhatsApp accounts](https://wassuply.com/docs/whatsapp-accounts/) for the view itself and [Today, Dashboard and stats](https://wassuply.com/docs/dashboard-and-today/) for the screens these shortcuts open.

## Frequently asked questions

### How do I open the command palette?

Press Ctrl+K on Windows or Cmd+K on a Mac from any of Wassuply's own screens. Press it again, or Escape, to close it.

### Why does Ctrl+K do nothing?

The WhatsApp view probably has the keyboard. Click the sidebar or another part of Wassuply, then press Ctrl+K again. For other problems, see [Troubleshooting](https://wassuply.com/docs/troubleshooting/).

### Can I change or add keyboard shortcuts?

No. Wassuply has no shortcut settings in 1.0.4.

### Is there a shortcut for the Today screen on Windows?

No. Today is not in the command palette and Windows has no menu bar, so open it from the sidebar. On a Mac, press Cmd+1.

### Can the command palette find a contact?

No. It searches pages, your WhatsApp numbers and campaigns. Search contacts on the Contacts page instead.

### Does closing the window on a Mac stop my campaigns?

No. Cmd+W or the red button only hides the window, and campaigns and warm-up keep running. Use Cmd+Q to quit.
