Set your own Ghost Browser keyboard shortcuts

If you switch workspaces or open fresh identities many times a day, a few keyboard shortcuts add up quickly. Ghost Browser lets you choose your own.

Set a shortcut

1. Open the ⋮ menu at the top right and choose Manage Shortcuts.
2. Click the box next to the action and press the keys you want.
3. Choose where it works: In Ghost (only while Ghost Browser is in front) or Global (from any app). If another app already uses the same keys globally, that app wins.
4. Click OK. To remove a shortcut, click the X next to it.

Actions you can assign

• Open the workspace menu
• Save the current workspace as a new one
• Start a new empty workspace
• Open the temporary identity menu
• New temporary identity
• Duplicate the current tab into a new temporary identity
• Refresh the current temporary identity
• Clear the current temporary identity’s data
• New gray (Default Identity) tab

Pick keys Chrome isn’t using

Ghost Browser is built on Chromium, so Chrome’s own shortcuts still work. Choose combinations that don’t clash with them. Ctrl + Shift + W, for example, closes the whole window, and Ctrl + R reloads the page. Alt combinations are usually free on Windows: try Alt + N for a new temporary identity and Alt + D to duplicate into one.
