No New Chat Shortcut in Qwen | Generated by AI
Question: What is the keyboard shortcut for starting a new chat in chat.qwen.ai, similar to Grok’s Command + J?
Answer:
Based on my research, chat.qwen.ai does not currently have a documented keyboard shortcut specifically for creating a new chat in its web interface.
What I Found:
-
Qwen Code (CLI tool) has shortcuts, but these are for a different product - a terminal-based coding assistant, not the web chat interface. For example,
Ctrl+Lclears the screen andCtrl+Ccancels requests in Qwen Code [[1]]. - The web interface at chat.qwen.ai primarily relies on UI interactions. Users typically start a new chat by:
- Clicking the ”+” button or “New Chat” option in the sidebar
- Using the plus button on the left side of the input field, as mentioned in recent app updates [[30]]
- No official shortcut documentation exists for the web chat interface that lists a Command/Ctrl + J (or similar) combination for new chat creation.
Workarounds & Tips:
- Browser-level shortcuts: You can try
Ctrl+T(orCmd+Ton Mac) to open a new browser tab, then navigate to chat.qwen.ai for a fresh session. - Custom scripts: Some users create browser extensions or userscripts (like those on Greasy Fork) to add custom keyboard shortcuts to web apps [[31]].
- Check the UI: Look for a “?” or “Help” icon in the chat.qwen.ai interface, as some web apps display available shortcuts there.
Recommendation:
If you’d like this feature, consider:
- Checking the Settings or Help menu within chat.qwen.ai for hidden shortcuts
- Submitting feedback to the Qwen team via their official channels to request a “New Chat” keyboard shortcut
Note: Keyboard shortcuts can change with updates, so it’s worth revisiting the official documentation or in-app help periodically.
