Keyboard shortcuts

Everything you can do from the keyboard, in one table per place.

On this page

Ctrl means Ctrl on Windows and Linux and Cmd on Mac. These docs show the right one for your computer.

In the editor, press ? to see the most common shortcuts at any time, or choose Keyboard shortcuts in the gear menu.

Writing in the editor

Keys	Action
`Tab`	Indent: insert two spaces, or indent every selected line
`Shift`+`Tab`	Outdent the selected lines
`Enter`	New line with the same indentation, one level deeper after `if`, `else` or `group`
`Ctrl`+`/`	Comment or uncomment the selected lines
`Ctrl`+`Space`	Suggest lane names. `Ctrl` on Mac too.
`↑` `↓`	Move through lane suggestions while the list is open
`Enter` or `Tab`	Accept the highlighted suggestion
`Esc`	Close suggestions. With none open, release the editor so the next `Tab` moves focus out.

These work when focus is not in the editor or another text box.

`J` or `↓`	Select the next message, once one is selected
`K` or `↑`	Select the previous message
`Esc`	Clear the selection and close the inspector
`?`	Show keyboard shortcuts
`Alt`+`Shift`+`A`	Switch to the agent view and back. `Option`+`Shift`+`A` on Mac.

Focus the divider with Tab, then:

Keys	Action
`←` `→`	Make the source pane narrower or wider
`Shift`+`←` `Shift`+`→`	The same, in bigger steps
`Home` `End`	Narrowest or widest source pane

Double-click the divider to reset it.
