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.

A note on the new UI

These global shortcuts are wired into the classic UI. The new UI is still being brought up to parity, so a few of them may not respond yet. Everything else (closing overlays with Escape, arrow-key navigation in menus, and so on) works in both.

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, opening settings, or minimizing to tray. 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)
