Keyboard shortcuts
These shortcuts work on any generator tool page. They're ignored while you're typing in a form field (so they won't interfere with text input). Click a result once — or arrow-key to it — to give it focus, then press S to save or C to copy.
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
| G | Generate (or regenerate) names |
| C | Copy the focused result · or Copy all if no result is focused |
| S | Save the focused result |
| ↑ ↓ | Navigate between results (wraps around) |
| Enter | Copy the focused result |
| / | Focus the tool search box (homepage) |
| Esc | Unfocus the current result |
Shortcuts are disabled when any modifier key (⌘, Ctrl, Alt) is held, so they won't clash with browser shortcuts like ⌘+C.
