What is this page for?

This page lists keyboard shortcuts for Discord, covering five areas: Chat, Messages, Navigate, Voice and Video, and Misc. It is a reference for anyone who wants to move around Discord faster without reaching for the mouse.

Which shortcuts should I learn first?

Start with Navigate and Voice and Video. These cover switching between servers and channels, and muting or deafening yourself during calls. Once those feel automatic, the Chat and Messages shortcuts will speed up everyday conversations.

Do the shortcuts differ between Mac and Windows?

Most follow the same pattern, with Command replacing Control on Mac. A few bindings in Misc and Navigate differ slightly, so if a shortcut is not working, check both columns.
