Keyboard shortcuts

macOS uses ⌘; Windows uses Ctrl+Shift.

Why Ctrl+Shift on Windows

The single-key Ctrl combinations are deliberately avoided to stay out of the way of Codex and Claude's native CLI shortcuts — they capture Ctrl keys inside the terminal, so the host can't also claim them.

In-terminal shortcuts​

These operate on terminal content rather than session management:

  • ⌘F searches the current terminal content, including across line breaks
  • Click any HTTP(S) URL in the terminal to open it
  • Click any file path in the terminal to jump to the file preview pane
