How to Enable and Use Keyboard Shortcuts in Helperbird
Learn how to enable keyboard shortcuts in Helperbird for faster access to your favorite features. View all available shortcut combinations and boost your productivity.
What are Keyboard Shortcuts?
Keyboard shortcuts let you quickly activate Helperbird features by pressing key combinations instead of opening the menu and clicking. For example, you could press a few keys to instantly start text-to-speech or turn on Reading Mode.
Shortcuts are disabled by default because some websites have their own keyboard shortcuts that might conflict with Helperbird's.

This feature is helpful for:
- People who want faster access to features
