Keyboard shortcuts

Shortcuts marked Cmd/Ctrl use Cmd on macOS and Ctrl everywhere else.

In the editor

Shortcut	What it does
`Cmd/Ctrl+Enter`	Wake the agent immediately, skipping the 3-second idle timer (no-op while the agent is paused).
`Cmd/Ctrl+Z`	Undo. Tagged transactions: undoes the most recent user typing or the most recent agent edit, whichever was last.
`Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+Z`	Redo.
`Cmd/Ctrl+F`	Open the find bar (scoped to the active tab).
`Esc` (in find bar)	Close the find bar.
`Enter` / `Shift+Enter` (in find bar)	Step to next / previous match.
`Cmd/Ctrl+S`	Explicit save. A no-op — DocWriter autosaves continuously — but accepted as a marker for users with the habit.
Triple-click	Select an entire paragraph, which opens the inline-feedback popup anchored to the selection.

You can use the mouse or keyboard to select text and open the popup. For example, hold Shift while you use the arrow keys, or press Cmd/Ctrl+A. The cursor is already in the input when you finish the selection, so you enter text there with most keys. Use these keys for other actions:

Shortcut	What it does
`Enter`	Submit the typed feedback to the agent.
`Shift+Enter`	Newline in the input (multi-line feedback).
`Esc`	Close the popup, keep the selection, and return the caret to the document. The popup does not reopen for that same selection.
`Cmd/Ctrl+A` (empty input)	Select all in the editor (not the input).
`Backspace` / `Delete` (empty input)	Delete the highlighted text from the document. Useful when you highlighted a passage planning to give feedback but then decided to just cut it.

The chat popover (Send button, top-right of the editor) handles multi-line input differently from a typical chat:

Shortcut	What it does
`Enter`	New line in the message. Plain Enter does not send.
`Cmd/Ctrl+Enter`	Send the message.
`Esc`	Close the popover. Doesn’t discard text — it’s restored on next open.

In pending-review cards (right pane)

Shortcut	What it does
`Esc` (in retry-feedback box)	Close the retry-feedback popover.
`Cmd/Ctrl+Enter` (in retry-feedback box)	Submit the retry feedback to the agent.

In menus and dialogs

Shortcut	What it does
`Esc`	Close the open menu, dialog, or context menu (file tree, tab bar).
`Enter` (in rename input)	Commit a rename (file tree, tab bar).

Mouse shortcuts that aren’t quite keyboard

Action	What it does
Double-click the Agent pill	Pause or resume the agent. While paused: no idle auto-wake, Wake up, Send, or `Cmd/Ctrl+Enter`. Double-click again to resume.
Double-click in PDF preview	Synctex backward jump: scrolls the editor to the source line for that PDF position. Requires `synctex` on `$PATH` and a `-synctex=1` build.
Click on a pending-edit card	Scrolls the editor to where the edit applies.
Click on a TOC entry	Scrolls the editor to that heading.
Right-click in file tree	Opens context menu (new file, new folder, rename, delete).
