Keybindings
Focus rotation, exit behavior, drawer keys, and the Ctrl+C soft-interrupt.
Exit
| Action | What happens |
|---|---|
Ctrl+C (single press) | Soft-interrupt — logs [soft-interrupt] to stderr. Does not quit. |
Ctrl+C twice within 1500ms | Clean exit. Restores terminal state, stops the dispatcher, destroys the renderer. |
q | Clean exit, but only when no drawer or help overlay is open. While a drawer is open, q is reserved for the drawer. |
/quit (alias /exit) | Clean exit from the composer. |
The double-tap-to-exit rule prevents accidental quit-on-Ctrl+C while a long run is in flight. Hitting Ctrl+C once is the conventional "soft cancel" — hitting it twice means you really want out.
Focus
| Action | Key |
|---|---|
| Focus the Agents panel | focus:agents (via Command Palette or palette shortcut) |
| Focus the Timeline | focus:timeline |
| Focus the Composer | focus:composer |
The exact shortcut keys are surfaced in the Command Palette (/help to open the palette and search "Focus").
Drawer keys
When a drawer is open:
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
Esc | Close the drawer |
↑ / ↓ | Move selection within the drawer |
Enter | Activate the focused item (varies per drawer) |
a | Approve (Approval drawer) |
r | Reject (Approval drawer) |
q | (reserved by the drawer; does not quit the app) |
Each drawer can register its own additional keymap. See the per-drawer entries in Reference → Drawers.
Composer
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
Enter | Send |
Shift+Enter | Newline |
Tab | Autocomplete slash command |
↑ / ↓ | Browse composer history |
Command Palette
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
| Open palette | Listed in /help, also via the Open Command Palette action |
| Type | Fuzzy-search across commands, drawers, controls, focus targets |
Enter | Run the selected action |
Signals
| Signal | Behavior |
|---|---|
SIGINT (Ctrl+C) | Soft-interrupt then double-tap to exit (see above) |
SIGTERM | Clean exit |
| crash / unhandled exception | Terminal state is restored on the way out |
The terminal is always restored on exit — cursor visible, raw mode off — even if the renderer crashed.
