# Keyboard Shortcuts

Birdie makes it even easier to start, stop, and manage recordings with handy keyboard shortcuts!

## Default Keyboard Shortcuts

By default, you can use the following shortcuts to control the Birdie Chrome extension:

* **Start/Stop Recording**: `Ctrl + Shift + S` (Windows) / `Command + Shift + S` (Mac)
* **Pause/Resume Recording**: `Ctrl + Shift + P` (Windows) / `Command + Shift + P` (Mac)\`

## How to Customize Keyboard Shortcuts

You can edit which keyboard shortcuts work for the Birdie Chrome extension. Here’s how:

1. Open Chrome and type <mark style="color:blue;">`chrome://extensions/shortcuts`</mark> into the address bar.
2. In the list of installed extensions, find **Birdie**.
3. Click into the input fields next to each action and press your desired key combination to set a new shortcut.
