## Global Shortcut: Summon Gemini from Anywhere

Press `Cmd+Ctrl+A` from any application on your Mac to instantly open Gemlet. Gemini appears in under 1 second without switching to a browser, finding the right tab, or clicking anything. Press the same shortcut again to dismiss it.

This is the single most-requested feature for Gemini on Mac. As one Reddit user noted: "This is where ChatGPT is so much better. I can just call it with keyboard shortcut whenever I need." Gemlet brings that same experience to Gemini.

## Slash Commands: Custom Prompt Shortcuts

Beyond keyboard shortcuts, Gemlet supports custom Slash Commands — text snippets that expand into full prompts when you type them. Create commands like:

- `/review` → Inserts a detailed code review prompt
- `/translate` → Inserts a translation template with source/target language fields
- `/summarize` → Inserts a structured summarization prompt

Slash Commands eliminate repetitive typing for prompts you use daily. Combined with [Split Panels](/content/solutions/multiple-gemini-gems/index.html) and [Workspaces](/content/solutions/organize-gemini-chats/index.html), they form a complete keyboard-driven workflow for Gemini on Mac. Need to [switch between Flash and Pro models](/content/solutions/switch-gemini-models-mac/index.html)? Just press `Cmd+M`.
