# What keyboard shortcuts can I use in the sipgate app?

In this article, you'll find the most important shortcuts for the sipgate app. You can now customize most of the shortcuts and assign them your own key combination.

## Setting your own shortcuts

You can adapt most shortcuts to suit your habits. Some shortcuts are fixed and cannot be changed – you can see which ones in the tables below in the **Customizable** column.

1. Open the **Settings**.
2. Go to the **Shortcuts** section.
3. Click the shortcut you want to change.
4. Press the desired key combination.

**Note:**\
When you change a shortcut, the respective default shortcut is shown as a suggestion. This way, you can return to the original assignment at any time.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Conflicts with other programs:** Some key combinations are already used by other programs or by the operating system. In that case, choose a different combination. Examples of possible conflicts:

* MS Teams uses **Ctrl+Shift+A** to accept calls
* Edge uses **Ctrl+Shift+D** to save all tabs
