Zen Browser supported lots of keyboard shortcuts to help you do common tasks quicker. Access `Settings` > `Keyboard Shortcuts` and edit the available shortcuts to suit your workflow even more!
### Change or rebind keyboard shortcuts in Zen
{/* TODO: insert video of editing a keyboard shortcuts */}
- In Keyboard Shortcuts setting page, to change or rebind shortcut of a feature, click the text field beside it, press your shortcuts, and press Esc to save your new shortcut.
- The text field will show a dark green outline quickly when the new shortcut is succesfully assigned and saved.
- The text field will show a red outline if the new shortcut you assign is already taken as default shortcut for other feature in Zen. Below the field, a *Conflict with another shortcut* warning will be shown. If you encounter this, you can try assign another shortcut, or press Backspace to clear the shortcut field. You can also clear the shortcut field of a feature you don't need, before assigning it as a new shortcut for other features.
-
- Some Zen features might not have conflict when its original shortcut got reassigned for other features, but when the shortcut is called, it will resort to do the original feature. You can check the Keyboard Settings if the shortcut you're assigning is already set for other feature, and try assign other shortcut to make it work.
- Not all features are available in the Keyboard Shortcuts settings, especially alternative shortcuts derived from Firefox ([Check default Firefox shortcut lists](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/keyboard-shortcuts-perform-firefox-tasks-quickly)). This might result in failure when applying or accessing the feature using a custom shortcut you assigned. If a Firefox shortcut is not available in the Keyboard Shortcuts settings, you won't be able to use it as a custom shortcut yet. Kindly report it to [Zen Github Issues page](https://github.com/zen-browser/desktop/issues) first!

- When you're in Compact Mode and switching tabs using `Ctrl/Cmd + Tab` or `Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + Tab`, you can peek into the tab you're switching in by enabling the **"Briefly make the toolbar popup when switching or opening new tabs in compact mode"** option in `Settings` > `Look and Feel` > `Theme Settings`.
