Intro

Discord on Mac uses Command and Option as its primary modifiers. Server and channel navigation runs on Option+arrow combinations, and a separate set of shortcuts works only while a message is focused.

Mac-specific shortcut notes

Server and channel navigation. Cmd+Option+Up/Down jumps between servers in the left rail. Option+Up/Down alone moves between channels within a server. Add Shift to either arrow pair to skip straight to the next unread channel, and Cmd+Option+Shift+arrow does the same but only for channels with an unread mention. Cmd+[ and Cmd+] move back and forward through your page history.

Message-focused shortcuts. With a message focused (hover or select it), single keys take over: E edits it, R replies, F forwards it, and P pins it. Typing +:emoji: in the message box reacts with that emoji to your most recently sent message. These only apply to the focused message, not the whole channel.

Reading and marking read. Esc marks the current channel as read, Shift+Esc marks every channel in the current server as read. Both are single-key actions, no need to click through each channel manually.

Voice and text quick actions. Cmd+Shift+M toggles mute and Cmd+Shift+D toggles deafen from anywhere in the app, not just while a call window is focused. Cmd+Option+Shift+V jumps straight to whatever call you're currently in.

The Discord macOS shortcut list is available as a printable PDF. The server and channel navigation section is the one worth keeping nearby if you're active in more than a couple of servers.
