Action Commands For Keyboard Shortcuts

You can use action commands to trigger keyboard shortcuts.

Define a custom voice command phrase => <press:[shortcut]>

For example:

1) In Gmail, the shortcut to send the email is ctrl + enter (cmd + enter on Mac). You can trigger this action using voice commands by adding a voice command send mail => <press:ctrl+enter> (or <press:cmd+enter> on Mac)

2) In ChatGPT, you can use press enter => <press:enter> to submit the message

3) You can trigger a line break in an editor by defining a voice command line break => <press:shift+enter>

Note: Currently, the key presses triggered by this feature cannot be used to activate Chrome browser shortcuts. For example, ctrl+w will not close the tab. If you wish to close the current tab, use the <closetab> voice command.

Note: Chrome shows a "Voice In started debugging this browser" message when you use an action command to trigger a keyboard shortcut. This is because Voice In needs the debugger to emulate the keyboard. You can ignore this message. You can also configure Chrome to hide the bar if it bothers you by following the instructions in the article linked below:
