The Switcher & keyboard shortcuts
The Switcher
Section titled “The Switcher”Ctrl+Shift+K (⌘⇧K on macOS) opens the Switcher — a keyboard fuzzy-finder over everything you
have open, across all projects:
- Panes — jump straight to any terminal or agent.
- Projects — switch project.
- Worktrees — jump into a worktree (including Worktree View).
- Views — Dashboard, Settings.
Matching favors what you meant: prefix and contiguous matches rank above scattered subsequences, and the active project is foregrounded. In the Pro edition the Switcher also carries action verbs (New pane here, New worktree, Reload pane, Toggle theme); the free Switcher is navigation-only.
Keyboard reference
Section titled “Keyboard reference”The modifier is Ctrl on Windows/Linux and ⌘ on macOS. App shortcuts deliberately use
Shift or non-letter keys so they never collide with shell keybindings (Ctrl+C, Ctrl+R, … always
reach your shell); on macOS, plain Ctrl combos always pass through to the terminal.
Press ? (outside a terminal) for the in-app cheatsheet — it’s generated from the same registry
this table describes.
