Close Session was bound to Ctrl+W by default. Ctrl+W is delete-word in every shell, readline prompt and agent CLI, so muscle memory killed the session (its tmux pane and CLI, with no confirm) mid-sentence, and with the split pane open it was not even the pane being typed in. Close Session now has no default key: the capture-phase handler lets Ctrl+W through and xterm sends ^W to whichever pane is focused. The action stays in the registry and can be bound in App Settings -> Shortcuts; the shortcut overlay shows it as not bound. The Help modal, CLAUDE.md, the split and tile-grid specs and three wiki pages stop advertising Ctrl+W as kill. Owner decision (tile-grid decision 5).

# Keyboard Shortcuts
|
|
|
|
Every binding, and how to change them. `Ctrl` also accepts `Cmd` on macOS.
|
|
|
|
Press `Ctrl+?` in the app for the same list in a floating overlay.
|
|
|
|
## Sessions and tabs
|
|
|
|
| Shortcut | Action |
|
|
| ------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
| `Ctrl+K` (also `Cmd+K`, `Alt+K`)| Find an open session or start a new one. |
|
|
| `Ctrl+Tab` | Next session. |
|
|
| `Alt+[` / `Alt+]` | Previous / next tab. |
|
|
| `Alt+1` to `Alt+9` | Switch to tab N. Physical keys, so macOS Option layouts work. |
|
|
| `Ctrl+Shift+{` / `Ctrl+Shift+}` | Move the active tab left / right. |
|
|
| `Alt+B` | Collapse / expand the session sidebar, when that layout is on. |
|
|
|
|
`Ctrl+W` is not a Codeman shortcut: it goes to the terminal, where shells and agent CLIs
|
|
use it to delete the previous word. **Close Session** has no key by default; close a session
|
|
from its tab, or bind a key to it in App Settings → Shortcuts.
|
|
|
|
## Terminal
|
|
|
|
| Shortcut | Action |
|
|
| ----------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
| `Enter` | Send. |
|
|
| `Shift+Enter` | Insert a newline without sending. |
|
|
| `Ctrl+Enter` | Same. |
|
|
| `Ctrl+C` | Copy the selection, or interrupt when nothing is selected. |
|
|
| `Ctrl+Shift+C` | Copy the selection. Never interrupts. |
|
|
| `Ctrl+V` | Paste. An image on the clipboard uploads and pastes its file path instead. |
|
|
| `Ctrl+L` | Clear the terminal. |
|
|
| `Ctrl+Shift+R` | Restore terminal size. |
|
|
| `Ctrl` `+` / `Ctrl` `-` | Font size. |
|
|
| `Shift+Wheel` | Scroll the local buffer, even where the wheel is forwarded to the CLI. |
|
|
| `Shift+drag` | Start a selection in a pane whose mouse events go to the CLI. |
|
|
| Right-click | Copy the selection. With nothing selected the native menu is left alone. |
|
|
| `Ctrl+Z` | Swallowed in agent sessions so a running CLI cannot be suspended. Normal job control in a shell. |
|
|
|
|
Anything you copy is cleaned on the way to the clipboard: each line loses the padding spaces a full-screen program paints across the rest of the row. Leading indentation is left exactly as it is, so indented code, a `git log` message body and `git diff` context lines paste back the way they looked on screen. An `Alt+drag` rectangular selection is copied exactly as it looks, so its columns stay lined up.
|
|
|
|
## Everything else
|
|
|
|
| Shortcut | Action |
|
|
| -------------- | ------------------------------- |
|
|
| `Ctrl+Shift+V` | Toggle voice input. |
|
|
| `Ctrl+?` | Shortcut reference overlay. |
|
|
| `Escape` | Close panels and modals. |
|
|
|
|
## Rebinding
|
|
|
|
**App Settings → Shortcuts.** Bindings live in a registry with per-user overrides, so a
|
|
rebind is stored as an override on top of the default rather than replacing the table.
|
|
|
|
Two things are deliberately not rebindable:
|
|
|
|
- **`Ctrl+C` smart copy.** The generic dispatch loop calls `preventDefault()` on every
|
|
shortcut it handles, and doing that to `Ctrl+C` would swallow the interrupt when nothing
|
|
is selected. It is handled separately for that reason.
|
|
- **`Escape`**, which closes whatever is open.
|
|
|
|
## Why some chords behave oddly
|
|
|
|
The terminal sees keystrokes before the app does. Any chord the app claims has to also be
|
|
swallowed at the terminal layer, or xterm writes the control byte into the session as well
|
|
as triggering the action. If you rebind something to a chord the terminal cares about
|
|
(`Ctrl+D`, say), expect the CLI to see it too.
|
|
|
|
`Alt+1` through `Alt+9` are matched on **physical key position** rather than the character
|
|
produced, so macOS Option layouts that produce `¡™£` still switch tabs.
|
|
|
|
## On phones
|
|
|
|
There is no physical keyboard, so the equivalents live in the keyboard accessory bar: `Esc`,
|
|
`Ctrl` as a one-shot modifier, `Tab`, arrows, and quick actions. See
|
|
[Mobile Guide](Mobile-Guide).
