The Universal Trigger: Cmd+K
The most important shortcut in Kequan Office is Cmd+K. This command opens the universal AI assistant overlay regardless of which document or tool you are currently using. Instead of navigating complex settings to summarize a paragraph, translate text, or generate a table, simply press Cmd+K and type your request. It is designed to keep your hands on the home row and your focus on your work.
Quick Actions: Cmd+.
For immediate, context-aware actions, use Cmd+.. This shortcut brings up a quick-menu of recent AI suggestions or formatting tools relevant to your current selection. If you have highlighted a sentence, Cmd+. might offer to rewrite it for clarity or tone. It is the fastest way to apply local-first AI processing without breaking your writing rhythm.
Essential Navigation Shortcuts
Efficiency isn't just about AI; it's about moving through your workspace smoothly. Use Cmd+T to open the command palette for searching any feature. To switch between open documents, use Cmd+W to close or Cmd+Shift+W to cycle through windows. These standard navigation keys ensure that Kequan feels native to your operating system.
Formatting and Editing
Keep your documents clean and consistent. Use Cmd+B for bold, Cmd+I for italic, and Cmd+U for underline. For list management, Cmd+Shift+K creates a new bullet point, while Cmd+Shift+L converts the current line into a numbered list. These shortcuts reduce reliance on the toolbar and help maintain a steady typing pace.
Customizing Your Workflow
Kequan Office allows you to tailor the Cmd+K experience. You can set default prompts for specific document types. For example, you might configure Cmd+K to automatically summarize meeting notes when used in the 'Notes' view. Visit the settings menu to define these local rules, ensuring the AI assistant adapts to your specific professional needs.
