  • Tab navigation shortcuts (โŒ˜โŒฅ1/2/3) may vary depending on your LM Studio version
  • Server shortcuts require the Server tab to be accessible
  • Press and hold modifier keys while clicking to access context menus with additional options
  • Custom shortcuts can be configured in LM Studio preferences
