Keyboard Shortcuts
CrispyVibe supports keyboard-driven operation, and its shortcuts follow macOS conventions.
App
| Action | Shortcut |
|---|---|
| Open App Settings | Cmd , |
| New VibeSpace | Cmd Shift N |
| Developer Tools | Cmd Option D |
| Capture a screenshot (works from any app) | Ctrl Shift 4 |
See Screen Capture for the shortcuts available while you select a target and in Screenshot Studio.
View modes
| Action | Shortcut |
|---|---|
| Switch to Detailed view | Cmd D |
| Switch to Terminal Board | Cmd T |
File operations
| Action | Shortcut |
|---|---|
| Save document | Cmd S |
| Find in document | Cmd F |
| Replace in document | Cmd Shift H |
| Close tab | Cmd W |
| Undo | Cmd Z |
| Redo | Cmd Shift Z |
Project navigation
| Action | Shortcut |
|---|---|
| Focus project 1–9 | Cmd 1 through Cmd 9 |
| Next project | Cmd Option ] |
| Previous project | Cmd Option [ |
Terminal and board navigation
| Action | Shortcut |
|---|---|
| Next terminal tab | Cmd Option ↓ |
| Previous terminal tab | Cmd Option ↑ |
| Navigate right on board | Cmd Option → |
| Navigate left on board | Cmd Option ← |
| Move focused project’s tiles to a new board window | Cmd Option M |
| Recall focused detached board to primary | Cmd Option B |
Bulk move and recall work only while the main VibeSpace is in Terminal Board. Recall also requires a detached board to be focused. Change these bindings in App Settings > Keyboard Shortcuts > Terminal Board. See Multi-Window.
Spotlight
| Context | Action | Shortcut |
|---|---|---|
| All Tabs | Move through filtered results | ← → ↑ ↓ |
| All Tabs | Open selected member | Return |
| All Tabs | Close the overview | Esc |
| Terminal compose | Send the focused draft | Cmd Return |
| Markdown content | Navigate back or forward | Cmd [ / Cmd ] |
When All Tabs is closed, Esc dismisses Spotlight or returns from a temporary preview. See Terminal Spotlight.
Compose history
In Terminal Spotlight, ACP chat, and VibeCast compose fields:
| Action | Shortcut |
|---|---|
| Recall an older entry from the first visual line | ↑ |
| Move newer or restore the pending draft from the last visual line | ↓ |
On interior lines of multiline text, the same keys move the caret normally. Option, Cmd, Shift, or Ctrl combined with an arrow does not recall history. An inline-trigger picker or another overlay that captures Up and Down receives those keys first. See Compose History.
VibeCast
| Action | Shortcut |
|---|---|
| Toggle VibeCast | Cmd Shift V |
| Send message | Cmd Return |
| Broadcast to all | Cmd B |
| Rephrase text | Cmd R |
| Cycle target up | Option ↑ |
| Cycle target down | Option ↓ |
Text size
| Action | Shortcut |
|---|---|
| Increase text size by 1 pt | Cmd + or Cmd = |
| Decrease text size by 1 pt | Cmd - |
| Reset text size to 13 pt | Cmd 0 |
The same commands are in the View menu as Increase Text Size, Decrease Text Size, and Reset Text Size, and they work even when no document has focus. Cmd + works with or without Shift, including on keyboard layouts where + and - sit on different keys.
Text size is a single global setting. It resizes:
- Code and plain-text editors, including the line-number gutter
- Terminals and app chrome
- Rich Markdown and HTML documents
- The LaTeX Edit tab
- AsciiDoc and SVG previews
These surfaces keep their own zoom and are not affected:
- Browser page zoom
- PDF and image magnification
- Jupyter notebooks
- Excalidraw whiteboards
- The LaTeX PDF tab
Rendered documents resize in place without reloading, preserving your caret, scroll position, and unsaved edits.
In App Settings > Keyboard Shortcuts, these actions are listed as Increase Font Size, Decrease Font Size, and Reset Font Size. A custom binding replaces the default Cmd + / Cmd = / Cmd - / Cmd 0 keys.
Markdown editor
| Action | Shortcut |
|---|---|
| Back through section and linked-file history | Cmd [ |
| Forward through section and linked-file history | Cmd ] |
| Place the caret in a link without following it | Option-click |
| Activate the focused link | Return |
| Dismiss the link actions popover | Escape |
Back and forward work in the rich Markdown editor and in compact Markdown views on the Terminal Board and in Spotlight. See Markdown Editor.
Dismiss
| Action | Shortcut |
|---|---|
| Dismiss spotlight / overlay | Escape |
| Close find bar | Escape |
| Cancel sheet | Escape |
