Keyboard Shortcuts

Keyboard Shortcuts

Global shortcuts are handled by GodotHub itself, so they work from anywhere in the app as long as you're not typing in a text field.

Shortcut	Action
Ctrl/Cmd + 1	Go to Projects
Ctrl/Cmd + 2	Go to Versions
Ctrl/Cmd + 3	Go to News
Ctrl/Cmd + 4	Go to Templates
Ctrl/Cmd + N	New project
Ctrl/Cmd + ,	Open Settings
Ctrl/Cmd + P	Toggle Command Palette
Escape	Close overlay / clear selection

The command palette key (P by default) can be changed in Settings under Display. Ctrl/Cmd + N and Ctrl/Cmd + , are ignored while you're typing in an input so they don't interfere with your text.

These shortcuts are active in both the classic and the new UI. The new UI's command palette covers navigation, projects, engines, templates, settings, and bug reporting; the classic palette additionally includes workspace and shortcuts commands.

Command Palette

Press Ctrl/Cmd + P (or your custom key) to open the command palette. It lets you search and jump to any view, plus run common actions like creating a project, importing, scanning, or reporting a bug. Type to filter, use the arrow keys to pick a result, and press Enter to run it.

Working in lists and menus

These apply wherever a dropdown, list, or menu is open:

Key	Action
ArrowUp / ArrowDown	Move through items
Home / End	Jump to the first / last item
Enter	Confirm the highlighted item
Escape	Close without selecting

The settings sidebar in the new UI also responds to ArrowUp / ArrowDown to move between categories.

Editing and forms

Key	Action
Enter	Commit an inline edit (e.g. renaming a version or a tag)
Escape	Cancel an inline edit or close the dialog
Ctrl/Cmd + Enter	Commit a Git commit from the Git sidebar
Escape	Close modals (create project, clone repo, and others)
