Quick Window and Shortcuts

Artemis keeps running in the tray (menu bar) so you can reach it from any app. The Quick window gives you a small chat and a search box, the command palette finds anything inside the main window, and tabs and split view let you keep several chats and notes open.

How to use

Quick window

  1. Click the tray icon, or press the Quick chat shortcut (default Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+Space) from any app. The Quick window opens on its Chat tab.
  2. Type your message. The conversation works like a normal chat.
  3. Press Open in the main window to move the conversation into Artemis.
  4. Switch to the Search tab with Cmd/Ctrl+2 (back to Chat with Cmd/Ctrl+1) to find chats, notes, files and actions without opening the main window. The Quick search shortcut opens the window directly on this tab.
  5. Press Esc to hide the window. Pressing the shortcut while the window is open on the other tab switches tabs instead of closing it.

Command palette

  1. In the main window press Cmd/Ctrl+K.
  2. Type to search actions, chats, notes, files and settings pages (fuzzy matching).
  3. Enter opens the result, Cmd/Ctrl+Enter opens a chat or note in a new tab, Esc closes.

Tabs and split view

  1. Chats and notes open in tabs. Cmd/Ctrl-click a chat or note in the sidebar to open it in a new tab.
  2. Drag a tab to reorder it. Middle-click closes it. Cmd/Ctrl+1…9 jumps to a tab, and Cmd+Option+Left/Right (or Ctrl+Shift+PageUp/PageDown) moves the active tab.
  3. Right-click a tab and choose Pin tab to keep it compact on the left. Pinned tabs survive Cmd/Ctrl+W and Close other tabs.
  4. Right-click a tab or a sidebar item and choose Open in split view to show it next to the current chat.
  5. Tab order and pins are restored the next time Artemis starts.

Find in a chat or note

Press Cmd/Ctrl+F in the pane that has the focus (or is under the mouse). Enter / Shift+Enter or Cmd/Ctrl+G / Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+G move to the next or previous match; Esc closes.

Shortcuts

Set them in Settings → Keyboard shortcuts: click a box and press the keys. Esc cancels, Clear turns the shortcut off. You can also type an Electron accelerator such as CommandOrControl+Shift+Space.

Tips

  • With Keep running in the background on, closing the main window keeps Artemis running, which the Telegram bot and scheduled tasks need. Quit with Cmd+Q or from the menu bar icon.
  • The Search tab is the fastest way to reopen a note or file from another app.

Limits and safety

  • A global shortcut that another app already uses cannot be registered. Settings shows the error under the field and leaves that shortcut off; pick another combination.
