Se’if 1א׳

אֵין הַצִּבּוּר אוֹמְרִים עִם שַׁ"ץ נַקְדִּישָׁךְ, אֶלָּא שׁוֹתְקִין וּמְכַוְּנִין לְמַה שֶּׁשְּׁלִיחַ צִבּוּר אוֹמֵר עַד שֶׁמַּגִּיעַ לִקְדֻשָּׁה, וְאָז עוֹנִים הַצִּבּוּר קָדוֹשׁ.

The Laws of Kedusha. Containing 2 S'ifim: The congregation does not say "Nakdishakh..." [the opening of the Kedusha] together with the prayer leader, rather they should be silent and concentrate on what the prayer leader is saying, until [the leader] reaches Kedusha [proper], and then the congregation answers "Kadosh".

Se’if 2ב׳

טוֹב לְכַוֵּן רַגְלָיו בְּשָׁעָה שֶׁאוֹמֵר קְדֻשָּׁה עִם שְׁלִיחַ צִבּוּר. הַגָּה: וְיֵשׁ לִשָׂא הָעֵינַיִם לַמָּרוֹם בְּשָׁעָה שֶׁאוֹמְרִים קְדֻשָּׁה, וְכֵן מְנַעְנְעִים גּוּפָן וְנוֹשְׂאִין אוֹתוֹ מִן הָאָרֶץ (טוּר וְשִׁבּוֹלֵי לֶקֶט); וְאֵין לְדַבֵּר בְּאֶמְצַע הַקְּדֻשָּׁה (מַהֲרִי"ל וּבֵית יוֹסֵף בְּשֵׁם מַהֲרִי"א וְדֶרֶךְ אֶרֶץ זוּטָא). וּמִי שֶׁאָמַר סֵדֶר קְדֻשָּׁה, וּבָא לְבֵית הַכְּנֶסֶת וּמָצָא צִבּוּר עוֹנִין קְדֻשָּׁה, חוֹזֵר וְעוֹנֶה עִמָּהֶם (תְּשׁוּבַת הָרַשְׁבָּ"א סי' רמ"ט).

It is proper is pay attention to one's feet [i.e. keep them together] at the time when one is saying Kedusha with the prayer leader. Gloss: And people should raise the eyes on high at the time at which they are saying Kedusha, and also move their body and lift themselves from the ground [Tur and Shibolei Leket]. And one should not speak in the middle of Kedusha [Mahari"l and Beit Yosef in the name of Mahari"a and Derech Eretz Zuta]. And one who [already] said the order of the Kedusha and came to the synagogue and found the congregation answering Kedusha should repeat it and answer with them [Responsum of the Rashb"a - siman 249]
