Keyboard shortcuts

Anywhere on your computer

These work in every app, as long as Relic is running. They are the defaults on Windows; the Mac and Linux keycaps are in the next section, and every one can be changed.

Two more appear once Sequential paste stack is on:

The five quick-paste keys paste by position: 1 is the newest item Relic has, from any of your devices, 2 the one before it, and so on. A screenshot you just took on your phone is number 1 on your laptop a few seconds later.

On a Mac and on Linux

The chords are the same on every desktop. On a Mac, Ctrl is the Control key, not Command: Command+Shift+Q would log you out. Where a chord uses the Alt or Windows key, the app names it for the keyboard you have.

Inside the Relic window

Once the window is open, these keys move you around. The ? pill in the search box shows the same list inside the app. On a Mac, read Cmd for Ctrl in the click and letter chords.

You can start typing a search from anywhere in the list; you do not need to click the box first. Esc works in layers: it closes a row menu first, then clears a multi-selection, then clears the search, then closes the window.

With the mouse

• Drag a row out: drop text, images, or files into other apps.
• Double-click a row: open it for editing.
• Right-click a row: the item menu, with Copy first and Delete last.
• Click the sync chip: sync now, or see what did not sync.

Changing a shortcut

Every global shortcut has a row in Settings›General. Press Change, then press the keys you want. The row records the first chord you press that has at least one modifier (Ctrl, Alt, Shift or the Windows key). Press Esc to keep what was there.

There is no reset button. To go back to a default, press Change and type the default chord from the table above. Setting the same chord on two rows is refused, because they would fight.

If another app already owns a chord, the system will not give it to Relic. The row says so in red and the shortcut does nothing until you pick another one:

Common culprits are screen recorders, launcher apps, and keyboard tools that register global keys of their own. If a shortcut that used to work stops, something new has probably claimed it. See Troubleshooting.

Old installs that never changed their keys are moved to the current defaults automatically: Ctrl + Shift + V became Ctrl + Shift + Q, and the stack keys moved from Ctrl+Shift to Ctrl+Alt.
