Keyboard shortcuts

The default shortcuts, and how to change them.

Defaults

Keys	Action	Does
`Ctrl`/`Option` + arrow	`moveTab…`	Move the shown tab one pane that way, splitting a new pane if needed
`Option` + `Shift` + `→` / `←`	`nextTab`, `previousTab`	Next / previous tab in the focused pane
`Option` + `W`	`closeTab`	Close the shown tab
`Ctrl` + `1`…`9`	`openPhase`	Open the nth phase of the current task
`Option` + `B`	`toggleSidebar`	Show or hide the sidebar
`/`	`focusSearch`	Jump to the search box
(unbound)	`splitRight`, `splitDown`	Split the shown tab into a new pane right / below
Middle click on a tab		Close it

Shortcuts also work while a plan has focus, but never while you type in a field. Option is there because macOS keeps Ctrl + arrows for Mission Control.

Change a shortcut

In Settings (⚙ in the sidebar) → Keyboard shortcuts, click record next to an action and press the keys. × removes a combo, and reset brings back the default.

Or edit hotkeys in the config file: each action takes a list of combos.

{
  "hotkeys": {
    "closeTab": ["Alt+Q"],
    "splitRight": ["Alt+\\"],
    "focusSearch": []
  }
}

An action you leave out keeps its default; [] turns it off.
Combos are modifiers and a key joined by +: Ctrl, Alt (Option on a Mac), Shift, Meta (Command), then a letter, digit, arrow (ArrowLeft), or a symbol like /, [, \.
openPhase takes modifiers only, such as "Ctrl"; the digit 1–9 picks the phase.
Keys match the physical key, not the character it types, so Alt+W works on macOS even though Option+W types ∑.
