What Sideview can and can’t see

The defaults

Alt + Shift + S opens or closes the panel.
Ctrl + Shift + K opens Quick search (Command + Shift + K on Mac, Alt + Shift + K in Firefox). Pro.
Alt + Shift + P sends the current page to the chat. Pro.
Alt + Shift + C sends a screenshot. Pro.

Change or add keys

Open chrome://extensions/shortcuts (in Edge, edge://extensions/shortcuts), find Sideview and set the keys you want, including Summarize, Explain and Translate.

A shortcut doesn’t work

Another extension may already use that key: pick a different one on the shortcuts page. Shortcuts that read the page don’t work on the browser’s own pages, such as the Web Store or the new tab page, because browsers block extensions there.
