Keyboard shortcuts

Mod means Command on macOS and Ctrl on Windows and Linux. Studio mirrors familiar IDE conventions where possible, so most shortcuts will feel right out of the box. Shortcuts are easiest to learn by role: keep the shell under control, move between tabs, search instead of browsing, and use terminal/editor shortcuts only when you are inside those surfaces.

Workspace layout

Shortcut	Action
`Mod+B`	Toggle the primary sidebar.
`Mod+Shift+B`	Toggle the Copilot panel.
`Mod+J`	Toggle the bottom panel.
`F11`	Toggle fullscreen.
`Mod+K` then `Z`	Zen mode.

Search and command palette

Shortcut	Action
`Mod+K`	Open the command palette.
`Mod+Shift+P`	Open commands.
`Mod+Shift+O`	Start a new chat.

Use Mod+K for objects and actions. Use Mod+Shift+P when you know you want a command rather than a host, file, memory, or conversation.

Tabs and editor groups

Shortcut	Action
`Mod+Tab`	Move to the next recently used editor.
`Mod+Shift+Tab`	Move to the previous recently used editor.
`Mod+PageDown`	Next editor.
`Mod+PageUp`	Previous editor.
`Mod+Shift+PageDown`	Move the editor right.
`Mod+Shift+PageUp`	Move the editor left.
`Mod+W`	Close the active editor.
`Mod+K` then `Mod+W`	Close all editors in the active group.
`Mod+Shift+T`	Reopen the last closed editor.
`Mod+K` then `Enter`	Keep a preview editor open.
`Mod+K` then `Shift+Enter`	Pin the editor.
`Mod+1` through `Mod+4`	Focus editor group 1 through 4.
`Mod+\\`	Split the workbench to the right.
`Mod+K` then `Mod+\\`	Split the workbench down.
`Mod+K` then `Mod+M`	Maximize the active editor group.
`Mod+K` then `Mod+L`	Lock the active editor group.

Terminal

Shortcut	Action
`Mod+C`	Copy the current selection (when text is selected).
`Mod+V`	Paste.
`Mod+F`	Find in the terminal buffer.
`Mod+K`	Open the command palette (standard — terminal does not intercept this).

Terminal shortcuts intentionally keep Mod+K available for global search. When you need terminal-specific actions, use the session toolbar or search the action by name in the command palette.

Diagrams

Shortcut	Action
`Mod+A`	Select all.
`Mod+C`, `Mod+X`, `Mod+V`	Copy, cut, paste.
`Mod+D`	Duplicate selection.
`Mod+Z`, `Mod+Shift+Z` (or `Ctrl+Y`)	Undo, redo.
`Mod+0`	Zoom to fit.
`Mod+Shift+H`	Hierarchical auto-layout.
`F2`	Edit the selected shape’s label.

Procedures and workflows

Shortcut	Action
`Mod+Z`, `Mod+Shift+Z`	Undo, redo in the procedure editor.
`Mod+S`	Save the procedure.

Remote files (SFTP editor)

Shortcut	Action
`Mod+S`	Save the open remote file.

Shortcuts to learn first

If you only memorize a few, start here:

Shortcut	Why it matters
`Mod+K`	Move anywhere without hunting through sidebars.
`Mod+B`	Get the sidebar out of the way or bring it back.
`Mod+Shift+B`	Hide or show Copilot as the work demands.
`Mod+J`	Bring back logs, output, and procedure run progress.
`Mod+\\`	Put evidence and action side by side.
`Mod+W`	Close the current tab without reaching for the mouse.

When you can’t remember a shortcut, Mod+K is the catch-all. The command palette searches every action, view, and object in the workspace — start typing and the right command surfaces.
