FAQ

What are the most useful Discord shortcuts on Mac?

The most useful Discord shortcuts include Cmd+K to open Quick Switcher for jumping between servers and channels, Cmd+Shift+M to toggle mute, and Cmd+Shift+D to toggle deafen. Use Cmd+E to search within the current channel.

How do I navigate channels quickly in Discord?

Press Cmd+K to open the Quick Switcher and type a channel or user name to jump there instantly. You can also use Alt+Up/Down Arrow to move between channels in the sidebar.

How do I format text in Discord?

Discord uses Markdown formatting: wrap text in *asterisks* for italic, **double asterisks** for bold, ~~tildes~~ for strikethrough, and `backticks` for inline code. Use triple backticks for code blocks. Press Shift+Enter to add a new line without sending the message.

Discord keyboard shortcuts not working - how to fix?

If Discord shortcuts aren't working, try restarting Discord with Cmd+Q and reopening it. Check that Keybinds in User Settings > Keybinds haven't been customized or cleared. Also ensure Discord has accessibility permissions in macOS System Settings > Privacy & Security > Accessibility.
