Keyboard shortcuts

Summon Eavesy, start and stop recording, and capture without reaching for the mouse.

Eavesy is built to stay out of your way — a floating panel you summon with a hotkey, capture from, and dismiss, without switching apps.

The global hotkey

The Mac app lives behind a global hotkey that opens the Eavesy panel from anywhere, like a command palette. From the panel you can start a recording, jump to a recent session, or run a quick capture.

Set and remap in Settings

Eavesy’s shortcuts are configurable. Open Settings → Shortcuts to see the current bindings and remap any of them — including the global hotkey — to keys that don’t collide with your other tools.

What you can do from the keyboard

  • Summon the panel — open Eavesy over whatever you’re doing.
  • Start / stop recording — without leaving your call.
  • Quick capture — grab audio, a screen recording, or a screenshot in one motion.
  • Search your sessions — start typing to jump to a past session.

In the browser

The web quick-capture bar uses a leader key followed by a letter to pick what to capture (audio, video, or a screenshot). Open the bar to see the current shortcuts for your browser.

Standard macOS shortcuts

Inside a session, the usual macOS conventions apply:

ActionShortcut
Copy the brief⌘ C
Find in transcript⌘ F
Close the panelEsc
