Keyboard Shortcuts
Use and customize the shortcuts for common Agent Session Manager actions.
Keyboard shortcuts open, close, and move through tabs and panes without leaving the terminal.
Default shortcuts
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
| ⌘T | New Tab |
| ⌘P | New Pane in Current Tab |
| ⌘W | Close Active Pane |
| ⌘K | Close Active Tab |
| ⌘⇧S | Open Shell Here |
| ⌘R | Refresh Active Pane |
| ⌘1 through ⌘9 | Switch to a tab by position |
Control-Return in a pane
On macOS 26 and later, while a terminal pane has keyboard focus, ⌃Return is sent to the program running in the pane instead of opening the pane’s context menu. A program that has enabled extended keyboard reporting, such as Claude Code, receives it as a distinct Control+Enter, which Claude Code uses to send a queued message immediately. Other programs receive an ordinary Return. Right-click a pane to open its context menu.
Shortcut configuration
Settings → Shortcuts contains the configurable shortcut fields. Existing app shortcuts accept one key with their displayed modifiers, and the ⌘1 through ⌘9 tab-switching shortcuts are fixed.
The Pane Resizing group contains independently configurable shortcuts for four directions and two step sizes. Defaults use ⌘⌥ plus an arrow for a four-point step, and ⌘⌥⇧ plus an arrow for a sixteen-point step. Each binding accepts a letter, number, or arrow key with Command and optional modifiers. Press Escape during capture to cancel, or choose Disable to stop that combination from resizing panes. A key already assigned to another app or pane resize shortcut is rejected.
Pane-resize shortcuts act while a terminal pane has keyboard focus and move one shared grid divider at a time. The selected divider stays selected at its minimum or maximum; the shortcut does not continue by moving another divider. Status-line height is controlled with the handle above the status line.
| Action | Default | Step |
|---|---|---|
| Resize Left | ⌘⌥← | 4 points |
| Resize Right | ⌘⌥→ | 4 points |
| Resize Up | ⌘⌥↑ | 4 points |
| Resize Down | ⌘⌥↓ | 4 points |
| Resize Left (Larger Step) | ⌘⌥⇧← | 16 points |
| Resize Right (Larger Step) | ⌘⌥⇧→ | 16 points |
| Resize Up (Larger Step) | ⌘⌥⇧↑ | 16 points |
| Resize Down (Larger Step) | ⌘⌥⇧↓ | 16 points |
Terminal editing
⌘C and ⌘V copy and paste in the active pane. A pane’s context menu contains the same Copy and Paste actions.
