Use the command palette to find an action by name. Press ? outside a text field to open the in-app shortcut reference.
Navigation
| Action | macOS | Windows and Linux |
|---|---|---|
| Open command palette | Command+K | Control+K |
| Create a project or session, depending on the current page | Command+N | Control+N |
| Open shortcut help outside a text field | ? | ? |
| Open or close the project terminal | Control+backtick | Control+backtick |
| New terminal when available | Control+Shift+backtick | Control+Shift+backtick |
Keyboard shortcuts can depend on the current page, focus, and active dialog. If the browser or operating system intercepts a combination, select the corresponding action from the palette.
Compose a request
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
| Enter | Send the message. While a response is running, the message joins the current turn and is answered by it. |
| Shift+Enter | Insert a new line. |
| / | Search available skills and commands. |
| @ | Open available context references in the composer. |
| Escape | Dismiss the active dialog or picker; with none open, stop the running response. |
The send button becomes Stop while a response runs; Enter never stops a response.
Use filenames and explicit output paths in the message after adding context. Selecting an attachment or skill does not by itself define the research task.
Useful palette actions
Search for New session, Open project files, Open project compute, Open settings, Back to projects, or Open documentation. Within a saved session, contextual actions include status, context usage, compaction, stopping work, and supported undo or restore.
Double-click a session title where offered to rename it. Use clear names such as Assay baseline or Literature screening so the session list remains useful.
Browse these docs
The documentation search supports typing a query, moving through results with arrow keys, Enter to open a result, and Escape to dismiss the list. On a narrow screen, choose Browse documentation to open the navigation and switch between Guides, Workflows, Explore tools, Skills, and Reference.
See Slash commands for command syntax and Workspace for the main surfaces.
