Keyboard shortcuts
These are the defaults. Every row is rebindable under Settings → Keyboard, where a binding can also be cleared; a cleared binding stays cleared across updates, and a default that changes later moves with the app unless you have overridden it.
Mod is Command on macOS and Control on Linux and in a WSL window.
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
Mod + K | Focus sidebar search, from anywhere |
Mod + F | Find in the focused viewer or terminal; focus sidebar search anywhere else |
Mod + N | New session in the active project |
Mod + W | Close the focused tab, session or file |
Mod + PageDown | Next tab |
Mod + PageUp | Previous tab |
Mod + Shift + E | Toggle the file panel |
Mod + , | Open settings |
Mod + Q | Quit |
When the terminal has focus
A focused terminal keeps every key it binds, so nothing here can interrupt typing to Claude.
The four that fire anyway are Mod+K, Mod+N, Mod+, and Mod+Shift+E: they are how you reach
the rest of the app from a terminal you are typing in. Mod+F in a terminal stays the
terminal's.
Quitting
Quitting with an agent mid-run asks first, then kills every child process. There are never
orphaned claude processes: an unattended agent is real money.
