# Customizable Hotkeys

- Most of Roam's commands can be given hotkeys of your own (or have their defaults changed) in **Settings → Hotkeys**.
- Commands are grouped by where they apply: **Everywhere**, **Inside a Block**, and **Multiple Blocks Selected**, plus any commands your extensions add.

### Changing a hotkey

- Open **Settings → Hotkeys**, or jump straight to one command by running **Edit Hotkey: [command name]** from the [[Command Palette]].
- Click a command's hotkey, then press the keys you want. Start by holding a modifier (`Cmd`, `Ctrl`, or `Option`; on PC, `Ctrl`, `Win`, or `Alt`).
- Press a second combination right after to build a multi-step hotkey, like `Ctrl-k` `Ctrl-b`.
- Click away to save.
- Commands marked **Blank** have no hotkey yet. They still work from the [[Command Palette]] until you give them one.
- Each command also has buttons to **delete** its hotkey or **restore the default**.

### Conflicts

- If two commands end up sharing a hotkey, it's highlighted on both. Hover to see which command it clashes with, then change or delete one of them.

### Taking your hotkeys with you

- **Export** downloads your customizations as a file; **Import Hotkeys** loads one on another device.
- Importing replaces the custom hotkeys you have, so export a backup first.
