Make sure your keyboard shortcuts are set properly.

On occasion, the default keyboard shortcuts for KnowledgeOS don't get properly set during install, or they conflict with another tool that you already have installed. If your keyboard shortcuts aren't set properly, it will mean that you won't be able to use features properly in certain circumstances. For instance, Knowledge Navigator will not open when you are on the new tab page.

Luckily, there is an easy way to check and even change the shortcuts. This is pretty consistent across browsers, though there are small variations depending on which browser you use.

To start click the link that corresponds with your browser or paste it into your address bar:

• Chrome: chrome://extensions/shortcuts
• Brave: brave://extensions/shortcuts
• Edge: edge://extensions/shortcuts
• Firefox: about:addons

From here you can easily find KnowledgeOS in the list and set or change any keyboard shortcut as you please.
