Hot keys in the program can be divided into local and global. Local works only when the main window is shown; global works in any situation, e.g. while working with another program.
Global shortcuts
| Ctrl + F11 + F11 | Display the main window |
| Ctrl + C + C | Translate the contents of a selected word, or of the clipboard, if no word is selected |
| Ctrl + Ins + Ins | Same as Ctrl+C+C, but in older versions) |
Note: Global keys may not be available in a fresh GNU / Linux distributions because of an error in X.Org server.
Local shortcuts

| Alt + G | Both main and popup windows | Pick a dictionary group from the drop-down menu |
| Alt + S | Both main and popup windows | Pronounce current word |
| Alt + Left/Right | Both main and popup windows | Display previous/next entry in history |
| Alt + M | Popup | List entries that match current selection |
| ESC | Popup | Close the popup window |
| ESC or Ctrl + L | Main Window | Focus on the Look-Up text-box |
| F2 | Main Window | Save current article as html |
| Ctrl + P | Main Window | Print current article |

- To use shortcuts in the popup window, make sure that it is active, click on it. Otherwise they will be handled by an external application.
- Alt + Left/Right produces the same effect as yellow arrows at main toolbar, not the History menu.
