Shortcuts

Every keyboard shortcut, and how to change one.

Rebinding

The tab lists every shortcut the app has. Click one, press the combination you want, and it is saved. Reset to default puts a single one back.

The ones worth knowing without looking: Cmd/Ctrl K opens the command palette, Cmd/Ctrl D goes home, Cmd/Ctrl B toggles the browser preview, Cmd/Ctrl \ toggles the sidebar and Cmd/Ctrl , opens settings.

Tips

  • Shortcuts are organized by category: Global, Workspace, and Chat
  • Custom bindings are stored in your global settings and persist across updates
  • If a custom binding conflicts with a system shortcut, the app shortcut takes priority within PandaOS
  • To reset a shortcut to its default, clear the custom binding in Settings > Shortcuts

Customizing Shortcuts

Open Settings > Shortcuts to customize any shortcut:

  1. Find the shortcut you want to change
  2. Click the current key binding
  3. Press your desired key combination
  4. The new binding is saved immediately
