Keyboard shortcuts and the command menu
The whole dashboard runs from the keyboard: any agent, project or page is a few keys away. Press ? anywhere outside the terminal for the shortcut sheet, and ⌘K or Ctrl+K for the command menu.
Single keys such as T, C, / and G work when the focus is outside the terminal and outside text fields, so they never swallow a letter you type.
Open the command menu
Press ⌘K on a Mac or Ctrl+K elsewhere, with the focus outside the terminal. Inside the terminal those keys stay the terminal's: ⌘K clears the screen, Ctrl+K goes to the shell.
Type a few letters of what you want. The menu finds:
- any terminal, with its state, by project, name or agent
- any project, account and dashboard page
- the actions in the next section
The best match sits on top as Top result. Before you type, Recent lists the items you opened from the menu most often or most recently, kept in this browser. Letters typed with the wrong layout, Russian for English or the other way round, still match. Move with ↑ and ↓, open with Enter, close with Esc.

Keys inside the terminal
The terminal uses the same shortcuts as a local one. On a Mac, ⌘ is the terminal's key and never reaches your Compute, so Ctrl+C stays an interrupt and Option works as Meta. Shortcuts follow the key's place, not its letter, so ⌘C copies on a Russian layout too.
| Action | Mac | Windows and Linux |
|---|---|---|
| Copy selection | ⌘C | Ctrl+Shift+C or Ctrl+Insert |
| Paste text, images or files | ⌘V | Ctrl+Shift+V or Shift+Insert |
| Paste an image | Ctrl+V | Ctrl+V |
| Paste as plain text | ⌘⇧V | |
| Select all | ⌘A | Ctrl+Shift+A |
| Clear screen and scrollback | ⌘K | |
| Find in scrollback | ⌘F | Ctrl+Shift+F |
| Dictate | ⌘⇧Space | Ctrl+Shift+Space |
| Bigger, smaller, default text | ⌘+, ⌘−, ⌘0 | |
| Open a link or file path | ⌘-click | Ctrl-click |
| Jump a word | ⌥←, ⌥→ | |
| Select text while tmux has the mouse | Option-drag | Shift-drag |
| Cancel an upload | Esc | Esc |
Plain Ctrl+V pastes an image when the clipboard holds one; anything else goes to the shell as ^V, the way agents expect for their own image paste.
The right-click menu
Right-click the terminal for Copy, Paste, Paste as plain text, Select all, Clear and Find. Over a file path the menu starts with Open file; over a link, with Open link and Copy link.
On a phone, the key bar carries the keys a phone keyboard lacks: Phone lists them.
