Keep your hands on the keyboard

The command palette

Open the palette with ⌘K on macOS or Ctrl+K on Linux and Windows. Search for an action, buddy or project. Use the arrow keys to select, Enter to act and Escape to close.

The palette provides access to tools and settings without finding their buttons in the interface.

Navigation and dialogs

• Tab / Shift+Tab: move focus to the next or previous control.
• Enter / Space: activate a control according to its type.
• Escape: close a palette or dialog, or cancel a selection in the preview.

Visible focus indicates which element will receive your action. In a text field, keys retain their editing behavior.

Terminal

Click or focus the terminal to respond to the provider. Arrow keys, Enter and Escape are passed through to the agent’s choices. Shift+Page Up / Page Down scrolls terminal history.

Scrolling stays local to the terminal view: it must not send commands to the agent. Returning to live output brings back the latest output.

On this website

Documentation search also opens with ⌘K / Ctrl+K. Tab moves through results and Escape closes search. Links, the language switch, theme control and homepage character families work without a mouse.
