Keyboard shortcuts

Plexus is keyboard-driven: switch tabs, toggle panels, drive the agent, and run git operations without leaving the keyboard.

Tabs

Jump straight to any tab in the active session. These fire app-wide, even while the terminal is focused.

In the project view the same chords drive its three tabs:

The project bindings are separate, independently rebindable actions that share their default combos with the session tab shortcuts. That's deliberate and safe: a session and a project are never in view at once, so Plexus routes the chord to whichever is active and doesn't count the overlap as a conflict.

Panels & views

⌘K opens a search over every session and project in the tree — matching on a session's name, its branch, its project or its workspace — and pressing Enter both selects the result and reveals it in the sidebar, switching workspaces if it lives in another one. Archived sessions aren't included; those live in the Archived drawer.

It shows the 50 best matches at a time. When there are more, the bar along the bottom says so (50 of 128) — type another character or two to narrow it.

It doesn't open while another dialog is on screen, so it can't navigate away from a New session dialog you are halfway through filling in — close that first.

Agent input

Drive the Agent tab from the prompt box.

On Windows and Linux, ⌘C is Ctrl+C — it copies when text is selected and otherwise interrupts. Copy and paste work the same way in the bottom terminal.

Editor

Rebindable like every shortcut below (Settings → Keybindings). Prefer not to save by hand? Turn on auto-save under Settings → Editor and Plexus writes changes to disk as you type — see Explorer & editor.

Git operations

Reshape the session branch from anywhere — these fire even while the agent terminal is focused. They're destructive, so each carries two modifiers, and when you trigger one while typing in a terminal or input Plexus asks you to confirm before it rewrites the branch. See Session Git for what they do.

Customizing shortcuts

Every binding above is editable under Settings → Keybindings. Click a row to record a new combo — Plexus reads the physical key, so layout and Option-composed glyphs never garble it. You can also reset a binding to its default or unbind it entirely (leaving the action with no shortcut).

Two rules keep recordings safe:

• Every binding needs at least one modifier, so a single keystroke can't fire an action while you work.
• The destructive git ops require two modifiers — a near-bare chord like ⇧S or a reflexive ⌘S won't trigger a rebase, merge, or squash.

Plexus flags conflicts when two actions share a combo. Every shortcut — navigation and git ops alike — fires while you're typing in a terminal or input, so the two-modifier rule above is what keeps a stray keystroke from triggering a rebase, merge, or squash mid-edit — and if one does fire while you're typing, Plexus confirms before rewriting the branch.

Bindings persist globally — see Settings for how scopes and overrides work.
