FAQ

What are the most useful Telegram shortcuts?

The most useful Telegram shortcuts on Mac are Cmd+N to start a new message, Cmd+F to search within the current chat, and Cmd+K to quickly jump to any chat or contact. Use Cmd+Up/Down to navigate between chats, Option+Cmd+Up/Down to move between unread chats, and Cmd+W to archive a chat. Press Cmd+M to mute/unmute the selected conversation.

How do I format messages in Telegram?

Telegram supports rich text formatting with keyboard shortcuts. Select text in the message box and press Cmd+B for bold, Cmd+I for italic, Cmd+U for underline, and Cmd+Shift+X for strikethrough. Use Cmd+Shift+M to mark text as monospace/code. You can also type ** around text for bold, _ for italic, or `` for inline code.

How do I navigate between chats faster in Telegram?

Press Cmd+K to open a quick switcher and type any contact or group name to jump instantly. Use Cmd+1 through Cmd+5 to jump to your pinned chats. Press Cmd+[ and Cmd+] to go back and forward in chat history, similar to a web browser. Holding Option while pressing the up/down arrows skips only to unread conversations.

Telegram keyboard shortcuts not working - how to fix?

If Telegram shortcuts aren't working, first make sure the Telegram window is active and focused. Some shortcuts only work when you're not typing in the message input field — press Escape to exit the input first. If a macOS system shortcut conflicts (like Cmd+M which minimizes windows by default), check System Settings > Keyboard > Shortcuts and disable the conflicting binding. Restarting Telegram usually clears any temporary input issues.
