This tutorial will show you how to change the default Alt+Shift+S keyboard shortcut used to open Visual Search in Microsoft Edge for your account in Windows 10 and Windows 11.
Visual Search is a feature in Microsoft Edge that lets you search for images on Bing.
Visual Search lets you quickly explore more related content about entities in an image.
Visual Search is available by default via image hover menu, context menu, and Alt+Shift+S keyboard shortcut.
You can change the default Alt+Shift+S Visual Search keyboard shortcut to a custom shortcut you want to use instead.
This setting is currently only available in the Canary and Dev builds of Microsoft Edge.
EXAMPLE: Current Visual Search keyboard shortcut shown on context menu in Microsoft Edge
