Keyboard shortcuts
The sidebar's bottom card surfaces the shortcuts that apply to whatever you have selected, so most of these you'll learn by glancing at it. The full list:
Projects & instances
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
| ⌘O | Add project — opens a folder picker; offers to git init if needed. |
| ⌘, | Open the Configuration modal for the selected project. |
| ⌘T | New Claude (worktree) in the selected project. |
| ⌘⇧T | New Loose Claude in the selected project. |
| ⌘⇧S | Close the active instance — runs the merge/discard flow on a worktree, instant on loose / merged. |
Navigation
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
| ⌘[ / ⌘] | Cycle prev/next stop across all projects in sidebar order. A stop is an instance, or an empty project. |
| ⌘⇧] | Jump to the next instance with the attention dot. Skips the active one; wraps around. |
| ⌘1…⌘9 | Switch tab within the active instance (1 = Claude, 2+ = workspaces). |
Claude tab
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
| ⌘P | Open the prompt picker. ⌘N inside the list view opens the new-prompt editor. |
| ⇧Enter | Insert a newline in Claude's multi-line input. Same as ⌥Enter. |
| ⌘S | Toggle the whole workspace fleet — start them all if any are idle, stop them all if any are live. |
| ⌘K | Clear the active terminal's scrollback (mirrors iTerm). |
Workspace tabs
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
| ⌘S | Start (when idle) or stop (when running) the active workspace. |
| ⌘R | Restart the active workspace. |
| ⌘⇧R | Reinstall the active workspace — drops the install marker, re-runs install, then dev. |
Modals
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
| Esc | Close the configuration modal or the prompt picker. |
