Keyboard Shortcuts

Keyboard Shortcuts

Every binding ClusterSpace responds to. Shortcuts work globally unless you're typing in an input field; Esc is always allowed through.

Workspace

Ctrl+T	New workspace
Ctrl+W	Close current workspace (prompts)
Ctrl+1 … Ctrl+9	Switch to workspace N
Ctrl+Tab	Next workspace
Ctrl+Shift+Tab	Previous workspace

See Workspaces-and-Layout.

Pane

Ctrl+Enter	Maximize / restore focused pane
Ctrl+R	Restart focused pane (re-spawns PTY / reloads browser)
Alt+→ / Alt+↓	Focus next pane (forward in layout)
Alt+← / Alt+↑	Focus previous pane
Ctrl+B	Toggle broadcast mode — typing sends to every visible terminal pane
Right-click pane	Open per-pane context menu (copy/paste/select-all, convert, attach tmux, etc.)
Double-click label	Maximize / restore pane
Drag label	Swap two panes

See Terminal-Panes · Broadcast-Mode.

Terminal-specific

Ctrl+Shift+C	Copy selection from terminal
Ctrl+V	Paste — uses bracketed-paste mode
Ctrl+C	Always SIGINT (interrupt). Never copies.
Shift+drag or Alt+drag	Native xterm selection — bypasses app mouse-mode so it works even in vim/tmux mouse-enabled apps

Per-pane menu → Disable App Mouse: filter mouse-mode escape sequences so native drag-select always works.

See Terminal-Panes.

AI

Ctrl+Shift+A	Toggle AI chat panel
Ctrl+Shift+G	Toggle goal runner dashboard
Esc (in chat)	Cancel in-flight stream → close panel

See AI-Overview · Goal-Dashboard.

Discovery

Ctrl+P	Command palette — searchable list of every action
Ctrl+Shift+P	Same — alternate binding for parity with VS Code muscle memory

See Command-Palette.

Note on Ctrl vs Cmd

The bindings above use Ctrl literally. On macOS, the same key combinations work — there is no Cmd alias. If you want macOS-style Cmd bindings, open an issue or contribute a patch to useKeyboardShortcuts.ts.
