WhatsApp Shortcuts

We all know how crucial speed and efficiency are when you’re juggling endless chats on WhatsApp. That’s why we built Volt with a suite of keyboard shortcuts—so you can zip through your inbox in record time without lifting your fingers from the keyboard.

Starting today, just press Esc anytime you’re in the Inbox screen to bring up the cheat sheet, where you’ll find most of the shortcuts that Volt offers. Here are a few you’ll love:

• Surf Your Inbox with Cmd + Up / Cmd + Down: Quickly scroll through your conversations without clicking around. Speedy navigation = more time for what truly matters.
• Conquer Inbox Zero with Cmd + E: Done with a conversation? Press Cmd + E to mark it as done. If you’re one of those inbox-zero junkies like me, you’ll get there in no time.
• Send & Done (Cmd + Enter): When you need to send a message and move on, Cmd + Enter does both at once.
• Recover Mistakes with Cmd + Z: Accidentally marked something as done? No worries. Cmd + Z brings the conversation right back where it was.
• Find anything (Cmd + F): Volt’s search bar is a beast. Hit Cmd + F to quickly sift through names, messages, or any keyword hidden in your conversation history.
• Put a contact in a list with Cmd + P: Create and manage lists for specific contacts or groups. Cmd + P helps you keep conversations tidy and easy to revisit later.
• Reminders for individual chats and Groups (Cmd + R): Need to come back to a chat tomorrow morning? Setting a reminder at 9 AM is as easy as Cmd + R and picking your time. The conversation reappears in your inbox right on schedule.
• Schedule Messages with Cmd + S: Plan messages for the future—no more forgetting that late-night send. Cmd + S opens the scheduling menu. Set your time, and let Volt deliver right when you need it. And review Your Scheduled Messages with Cmd + Shift + S, as it shows you all the messages waiting to be sent later.
