These are the default WhatsApp Web keyboard shortcuts for Windows: image

  • The ones for switching to next and previous chats collide with the default windows keyboard shortcuts for Switching through open windows (Ctrl+Alt+Tab/Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Tab),

    • this userscript replaces the shortcuts with Ctrl+Shift+UpArrow for previous chat and Ctrl+Shift+DownArrow

  • It adds shortcuts so the user can quote-reply specific messages without having to use the mouse

    1. Press Alt+UpArrow when a chat window is open to set the focus to last sent chat bubble in the open chat window
    2. Use UpArrow and DownArrow keys to navigate through the chat bubbles
    3. Alt+Enter to select the currently highlighted one for quote-replying.
