**Settings → Keybindings** (<kbd>⌘ ,</kbd>) is the live version of this page —
it shows what *your* copy is bound to. This is the shipped default.

## View

| Action | macOS | Windows / Linux |
|---|---|---|
| Command Palette | <kbd>⌘ P</kbd> | <kbd>Ctrl ⇧ P</kbd> |
| Toggle Left Sidebar | <kbd>⌘ B</kbd> | <kbd>Ctrl ⇧ B</kbd> |

| Zoom the font | <kbd>⌘</kbd> + wheel | <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + wheel |

## Terminal

| Action | macOS | Windows / Linux |
|---|---|---|
| Find in Terminal | <kbd>⌘ F</kbd> | <kbd>Ctrl ⇧ F</kbd> |
| Find Next · Previous | <kbd>⌘ G</kbd> · <kbd>⌘ ⇧ G</kbd> | <kbd>F3</kbd> · <kbd>⇧ F3</kbd> |
| Clear Scrollback | <kbd>⌘ K</kbd> | <kbd>Ctrl ⇧ K</kbd> |
| Copy · Paste | <kbd>⌘ C</kbd> · <kbd>⌘ V</kbd> | <kbd>Ctrl ⇧ C</kbd> · <kbd>Ctrl ⇧ V</kbd> · <kbd>⇧ Insert</kbd> |
| Insert Newline (at the prompt) | <kbd>⇧ ⏎</kbd> · <kbd>⌥ ⏎</kbd> | same |
| Fuzzy history search | <kbd>⌃ R</kbd> | same |
| Accept ghost suggestion | <kbd>→</kbd> | same |
| Completion menu | <kbd>⇥</kbd> | same |

On Windows and Linux plain <kbd>Ctrl V</kbd> also pastes at a shell prompt.
Inside a full-screen application — vim, less, tmux — it is passed through as
the key, so it means what the application says it means (blockwise Visual mode
in vim); paste there with <kbd>Ctrl ⇧ V</kbd> or <kbd>⇧ Insert</kbd>.

That convenience is the **Paste (outside full-screen apps)** binding, and it is
yours to move. Clearing it hands <kbd>Ctrl V</kbd> to the shell everywhere,
including readline's `quoted-insert`:

```json
{ "keybindings": { "AlternatePaste": "" } }
```

Putting Paste itself on the chord goes the other way, pasting on every screen
the way Windows Terminal does out of the box:

```json
{ "keybindings": { "PasteText": "ctrl-v" } }
```

Every <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> chord that stands for a control code reaches the program
you are running: <kbd>Ctrl 6</kbd> and <kbd>Ctrl ⇧ 6</kbd> are `^^` (vim's
alternate file), <kbd>Ctrl /</kbd> and <kbd>Ctrl ⇧ −</kbd> are `^_` (readline's
undo), <kbd>Ctrl 3</kbd> is Escape. The plain <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> chords tty7 keeps
are the ones that stand for nothing: <kbd>Ctrl ⇥</kbd> for the next tab, and on
Windows and Linux <kbd>Ctrl +</kbd> · <kbd>Ctrl −</kbd> · <kbd>Ctrl 0</kbd> for
the font size.

## Git and SSH

| Action | macOS | Windows / Linux |
|---|---|---|
| Commit (caret in the message box) | <kbd>⌘ ⏎</kbd> | <kbd>Ctrl ⏎</kbd> |
| Save (in the editor) | <kbd>⌘ S</kbd> | <kbd>Ctrl S</kbd> |
| Restart SSH Session | <kbd>⌘ ⇧ R</kbd> | <kbd>Ctrl ⇧ R</kbd> |

## Application

| Action | macOS | Windows / Linux |
|---|---|---|
| Settings | <kbd>⌘ ,</kbd> | <kbd>Ctrl ,</kbd> |
| Keyboard Shortcuts | <kbd>⌘ /</kbd> | — |
| Hide tty7 · Hide Others · Minimize | <kbd>⌘ H</kbd> · <kbd>⌘ ⌥ H</kbd> · <kbd>⌘ M</kbd> | — |
| Quit | <kbd>⌘ Q</kbd> | <kbd>Ctrl ⇧ Q</kbd> |

## Actions with no default key

All of these are in the command palette, and all are bindable under **Settings →
Keybindings**:

| Group | Actions |
|---|---|
| Tabs | `RenameTab` · `NewWorktreeTab` · `CloseOtherTabs` · `CloseTabsToTheRight` · `CopyWorkingDirectory` · `MarkTabUnread` · `ToggleTabSidebar` |
| Panes | `ResizePaneLeft/Right/Up/Down` · `SwapPaneNext` · `SwapPanePrev` |
| Workspaces | `SelectWorkspace1`…`SelectWorkspace9` · `RenameWorkspace` · `StopWorkspace` · `DeleteWorkspace` |
| Agents | `ForkAgentSession` (+ `Right` / `Left` / `Down` / `Up`) · `CopyAgentSessionId` |
| Git | `ScmStageAll` · `ScmUnstageAll` · `ScmDiscardAll` · `ScmCommitAmend` · `ScmRefresh` · `ScmSync` · `ScmPush` · `ScmPull` · `ScmFetch` · `ScmCheckoutBranch` · `ScmCreateBranch` · `ScmToggleGraph` · `ToggleDiffViewMode` |
| Panels | `ShowRightPanelInfo` · `ShowRightPanelChanges` · `ShowRightPanelFiles` |
| SSH | `ToggleSftp` · `ShowSshForwards` · `OpenSshProfiles` |
| Application | `About` · `CheckForUpdates` · `OpenDocumentation` · `OpenDiscord` · `ReportIssue` · `ShowAll` · `ZoomWindow` |

## Rebinding syntax

```json
{
  "keybindings": {
    "ResizePaneLeft": "ctrl-alt-left",
    "ToggleSftp": "secondary-shift-u",
    "ScmSync": "ctrl-b s"
  }
}
```

`secondary` means <kbd>⌘</kbd> on macOS and <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> elsewhere. A space
separates the steps of a chord.
