Notes

  • Use Cmd key on macOS, Ctrl key on Windows/Linux
  • Ctrl/Cmd + R only refreshes the currently selected key; F5 refreshes the entire key list
  • Esc behavior depends on context: when settings is open, it closes settings; otherwise, it closes the CLI panel (if open)
  • Stopping AI: There is no keyboard shortcut to abort an AI request; this must be done by clicking the red square (🟥) button next to the "Thinking" status.
  • Some shortcuts (Tab switching 1-9, Quick Connect 0-9, AI commands, Refresh Key List) are fixed and cannot be customized

Customizing Shortcuts

  1. Open the settings window (Ctrl/Cmd + ,)
  2. Go to the Shortcuts tab
  3. Click the shortcut entry you want to modify
  4. Press the new keyboard combination
  5. The system automatically detects conflicts and warns
  6. Click Reset to Default to restore default settings

Shortcut Customization Indicator

  • Shortcuts with underlined names indicate they have been customized from their default values
  • This helps you quickly identify which shortcuts you've modified
