Shortcuts inside a terminal tab#
Look up the keys for splits, focus, panels, sessions, and search while a Remote Terminal tab has your focus.
These shortcuts work while your focus is inside a Remote Terminal tab. The scope is deliberate, so Ctrl+F searches the terminal rather than the rest of the app, and two open Remote Terminal tabs never both react to the same key press.
On macOS, use Cmd wherever the table says Ctrl.
Panes and splits#
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
| Ctrl+Shift+D | Split the focused pane to the right |
| Ctrl+Shift+E | Split the focused pane downwards |
| Ctrl+Shift+Z | Zoom the focused pane to fill the tab, or restore it |
| Ctrl+Shift+0 | Reset every split in the tab to an even share |
| Ctrl+Shift+W | Close the focused pane and end its session |
| Ctrl+Shift+Arrow | Move focus to the pane in that direction |
Search, files, and broadcast#
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
| Ctrl+F | Open or close search on the focused pane |
| Ctrl+Shift+F | Open or close the file browser on the focused SSH pane |
| Ctrl+Shift+B | Turn broadcast on or off for the tab |
| Ctrl+Shift+S | Show or hide the sidebar |
Start a session#
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
| Ctrl+Shift+T | Open a local shell in a new pane |
| Ctrl+Shift+K | Jump to the Quick Connect field |
Inside the search field#
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
| Enter | Go to the next match |
| Shift+Enter | Go to the previous match |
| Escape | Close search and clear the highlighting |
Enter and Escape behave the same way in the file browser's rename and new folder fields: Enter commits, Escape cancels.
