AI assistant hotkey reference (15 tools).
What is the keyboard shortcut to open my AI assistant?
The keyboard shortcut to open an AI assistant depends on the tool and the OS. For 15 desktop AI assistants: Jarvis (getjarvis.eu) uses Cmd+/ on macOS and Ctrl+/ on Windows and Linux; ChatGPT Desktop uses Option+Space on Mac and Alt+Space on Windows; Claude Desktop uses Cmd+B on Mac and Ctrl+B on Windows; Perplexity Desktop uses Cmd+Shift+P; Microsoft Copilot uses Win+C on Windows 11 or the dedicated Copilot key on Copilot+ PCs; Apple Intelligence uses double-tap Cmd+Space for Type to Siri. Wispr Flow and Superwhisper both default to a held modifier for push-to-talk dictation. Most standalone tools allow remapping; OS-bundled assistants usually do not. Every competitor row here is relayed from that vendor's own published shortcut documentation rather than tested by us, and the Jarvis row comes from the shipped default in the desktop app. Shortcuts were read in May 2026 and have not been re-verified since. Scroll down for the full 15-tool table covering primary open, secondary, dictation hold, screen capture, and remap support.
