Keyboard shortcuts

Every shortcut Kettu has, grouped as the app's own shortcut list groups them.

To see this list in the app, press ⌘/ on macOS or Ctrl+/ on Windows and Linux, or click Keyboard shortcuts at the bottom of the sidebar.

Action	macOS	Windows and Linux
Show or hide the terminal	⌃`	Ctrl+`
New terminal	⌃⇧`	Ctrl+Shift+`
Ask the agent about the selection, with text selected in the terminal	`⌘L`	`Ctrl+L`

The terminal keys use Ctrl on macOS too, and work while a project is open.

When a terminal or the editor has focus

On Windows and Linux, while a terminal has focus, only the terminal and zoom shortcuts reach Kettu, since Ctrl+B, Ctrl+L and Ctrl+N mean something to the shell, and Alt+← and Alt+→ move by a word. The Files pane’s editor keeps ⌘/ or Ctrl+/, which comments lines, and ⌘[ and ⌘].

In the composer

Which key sends is set by Send with in Settings › General; the other one inserts a new line.

Action	With Enter (default)	With ⌘ Enter or Ctrl+Enter
Send	`Enter`	`⌘Enter` or `Ctrl+Enter`
New line	`Shift+Enter`	`Enter`
Queue a message while the agent works	`Enter`	`⌘Enter` or `Ctrl+Enter`
Steer the running turn	`⌘Enter` or `Ctrl+Enter`	`⌘⇧Enter` or `Ctrl+Shift+Enter`

Steering works with agents that take messages during a turn.
