Open the in-app sheet with Ctrl+/. On macOS, Qt maps Ctrl to Command and Alt to Option, so Omairc displays Cmd and Option. Shift, arrow keys, and the physical key names are unchanged.
The terminal client uses the same map, plus Alt+U to jump to the first new message. See Use the terminal client for the differences.
