Keyboard shortcuts

mod is ⌘ on macOS and Ctrl everywhere else. The app’s own Shortcuts page (Settings → Shortcuts) shows the same list with your machine’s glyphs.

Every shortcut requires mod. A bare key is never a global shortcut, so typing in a field is never ambiguous.

Rebindable commands

Sixteen commands, all customisable in Settings → Shortcuts.

View

Command	Default	macOS
Toggle left panel	mod+b	⌘B
Toggle response panel	mod+j	⌘J
Toggle pinboard panel	mod+alt+b	⌘⌥B
Search project	mod+shift+f	⌘⇧F
Find in view	mod+f	⌘F

Requests

Command	Default	macOS
New request	mod+n	⌘N
Save request	mod+s	⌘S
Send request	mod+enter	⌘↵

Tabs

Command	Default	macOS
New tab	mod+t	⌘T
Reopen closed tab	mod+shift+t	⌘⇧T
Close tab	mod+w	⌘W

Project

Command	Default	macOS
Open folder	mod+o	⌘O

Application

Command	Default	macOS
Open settings	mod+,	⌘,
Zoom in	mod+=	⌘+
Zoom out	mod+-	⌘−
Reset zoom	mod+0	⌘0

The four Application commands are global — they work on the launcher screen and with a dialog open. The rest are project-scoped: suppressed while the command palette or a settings dialog owns the keyboard, and when no project is open.

Fixed shortcuts

Not rebindable.

Action	Shortcut	macOS
Open the command palette	mod+k	⌘K
Go to tab 1…9	mod+1 … mod+9	⌘1 … ⌘9
Next tab	mod+shift+] or mod+tab	⌘⇧]
Previous tab	mod+shift+[ or mod+shift+tab	⌘⇧[

Two more work but are not listed on the app’s own Shortcuts page:

Action	Shortcut
Open the command palette	mod+shift+p
Open the palette on the pinboard page	mod+shift+v

Tip

With no tabs open, mod+1 … mod+5 open the Nth recent project instead of the Nth tab.

Context shortcuts

Shortcut	Where
mod+v	On the empty pane — paste a curl command and open it as an unsaved request
Escape	Close the palette, the response find bar, or the Spec Wrapped presentation
Enter / Shift+Enter	In the response find bar — next / previous match
Backspace	In the palette, on a sub-page with an empty search: back to the root list
← / → / Space	Navigate the Spec Wrapped presentation

Two commands that yield to the editor

Send request (⌘↵) and Find in view (⌘F) defer when focus is inside a Monaco code editor, so Monaco’s own run-the-block and find win there.

⌘F now has three owners

The response pane gained its own find bar in v0.1.0-preview.10, so ⌘F picks between three targets. In order:

1. A focused Monaco editor wins — its native find opens.
2. Otherwise the response pane’s find bar, if the pane is showing findable content and your caret is not in some other field. Findable means a buffered response on the Body, Raw or Headers tab; the SSE stream view, the Tests and Request tabs, an error, and “nothing sent yet” all decline the chord.
3. Otherwise the navigator’s endpoint filter, which is where ⌘F went before.

“Some other field” in rule 2 means an input, textarea or editable element outside the response surface — the sidebar filter, the URL bar, a header value. Typing in one of those keeps ⌘F where your caret already is. If the focused field is the find bar, ⌘F re-focuses it instead of handing the chord away.

A detached response window has no shortcuts

Pop the response panel out into its own window and none of this applies there. That window is a read-only mirror of the main one and installs no keyboard handling at all — no ⌘F, no ⌘↵, no palette. Saving a response is unavailable there too, for a related reason: the detached window does not own the tab the response came from.

Rebinding

Settings → Shortcuts. Conflicts are detected across the whole registry, and setting a chord back to its default clears the override rather than storing a duplicate.

Overrides are machine-local app settings, not part of your project, so they do not travel with the repository or reach a teammate.

Chord syntax

If you are reading the overrides file directly: a chord is lowercase, joined by +, in the fixed order mod → alt → shift → key. Key names come from the physical key, so a remapped keyboard layout does not change them. Examples: mod+shift+b, mod+alt+b, mod+enter, mod+,.
