Keyboard Shortcuts
Jaade has a layered, rebindable shortcut system. The full catalog — including terminal workbench commands like tab navigation and pane splitting — lives in Settings → Keyboard, where you can remap any of it.
This page lists the shortcuts worth knowing. On macOS the primary modifier is Cmd.
Navigation & app
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
Cmd/Ctrl + P | Open the command palette (files, views, commands) |
Cmd/Ctrl + F | Focus the list filter in History, Plugins, Skills, MCP, and Memories views |
Cmd/Ctrl + 1…9 | Jump to a left-sidebar view (Projects is Cmd/Ctrl + 1) |
Cmd/Ctrl + = / - / 0 | Zoom the UI in / out / reset to 100% |
File viewer & editor
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
Cmd/Ctrl + S | Save the open file |
Cmd/Ctrl + G | Go to line |
Cmd/Ctrl + Click (on a symbol) | Go to definition (with LSP) |
Vim mode
When vim mode is on, the file viewer accepts vim keybindings, plus the Ex commands:
| Command | Action |
|---|---|
:w | Save |
:q | Close |
:wq / :x | Save and close |
Terminal
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
Cmd/Ctrl + F | Search the terminal scrollback |
Cmd/Ctrl + Click (on a commit hash) | Open that commit in the Git History panel |
Cmd/Ctrl + Click (on a file path) | Open that file in the file viewer |
Standard copy/paste and clear shortcuts are intercepted so the terminal emulator doesn't swallow them.
Mini Apps
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
Cmd/Ctrl + W | Close the current mini-app player window |
Rebinding
To change any shortcut — or to see the terminal workbench commands not listed here — open Settings → Keyboard. Bindings are defined per platform.
