Using the new ChatGPT app on MacBook disables the CMD+S hotkey

Not API-related but I couldn’t find a more appropriate place to post in.

I installed the new ChatGPT app on my MacBook, and the Command+S hotkey stopped working across the OS (browser, vscode, and other apps).

When I uninstalled the app, everything went back to normal and Command+S started working again.

You don’t need to uninstall it. You can just close the chatGPT desktop app and you will be able to use the CMD+S

They might want to make sure that only the global command should work and not the CMD+S

I found if you go to ChatGPT/Settings/Desktop Launcher and remove the keyboard shortcut then command-s starts working again. Even though the shortcut is supposed to be command-space.

Restarting the app solved the issue for me

It’s not command+s though, it’s “option+s”, command+s is for spotlight search.

It depends on your keyboard, I personally use a 60% keyboard so a lot of my keys don’t match up with other peoples.

He’s on about the Mac app, so it’s the same regardless. It’s always Option+S unless you change it.
