# Adding Keyboard Shortcuts Guide
## Steps to Add a New Hotkey
### 1. Update Hotkey Constant
In `src/types/hotkey.ts`:
```typescript
export const HotkeyEnum = {
// existing...
ClearChat: 'clearChat', // Add new
} as const;
```
### 2. Register Default Hotkey
In `src/const/hotkeys.ts`:
```typescript
import { KeyMapEnum as Key, combineKeys } from '@lobehub/ui';
export const HOTKEYS_REGISTRATION: HotkeyRegistration = [
{
group: HotkeyGroupEnum.Conversation,
id: HotkeyEnum.ClearChat,
keys: combineKeys([Key.Mod, Key.Shift, Key.Backspace]),
scopes: [HotkeyScopeEnum.Chat],
},
];
```
### 3. Add i18n Translation
In `src/locales/default/hotkey.ts`:
```typescript
const hotkey: HotkeyI18nTranslations = {
clearChat: {
desc: '清空当前会话的所有消息记录',
title: '清空聊天记录',
},
};
```
### 4. Create and Register Hook
In `src/hooks/useHotkeys/chatScope.ts`:
```typescript
export const useClearChatHotkey = () => {
const clearMessages = useChatStore((s) => s.clearMessages);
return useHotkeyById(HotkeyEnum.ClearChat, clearMessages);
};
export const useRegisterChatHotkeys = () => {
useClearChatHotkey();
// ...other hotkeys
};
```
### 5. Add Tooltip (Optional)
```tsx
const clearChatHotkey = useUserStore(settingsSelectors.getHotkeyById(HotkeyEnum.ClearChat));
<Tooltip hotkey={clearChatHotkey} title={t('clearChat.title', { ns: 'hotkey' })}>
<Button icon={<DeleteOutlined />} onClick={clearMessages} />
</Tooltip>
```
## Best Practices
1. **Scope**: Choose global or chat scope based on functionality
2. **Grouping**: Place in appropriate group (System/Layout/Conversation)
3. **Conflict check**: Ensure no conflict with system/browser shortcuts
4. **Platform**: Use `Key.Mod` instead of hardcoded `Ctrl` or `Cmd`
5. **Clear description**: Provide title and description for users
## Troubleshooting
- **Not working**: Check scope and RegisterHotkeys hook
- **Not in settings**: Verify HOTKEYS_REGISTRATION config
- **Conflict**: HotkeyInput component shows warnings
- **Page-specific**: Ensure correct scope activation
