You can set custom hotkeys for Discourse Graph commands to speed up your workflow:

3. Search for "Discourse"
4. Modify the commands or add hotkeys
3. Search for "Discourse" to see all available commands
4. Click on a command and set your preferred hotkey

### Useful hotkeys to configure

- **Open node type menu**: Create a new discourse node or convert selected text into a node
- **Toggle discourse context**: Show or hide the discourse context view
- **Create discourse node**: Create a new discourse node from scratch

For example, setting a hotkey for "Open node type menu" allows you to quickly create new discourse nodes without using the mouse.
