The command palette is the complete action list for your build. These are common defaults; your configuration can change them.
Use the shortcut helper bar
Hold Ctrl + Shift to show the shortcut strip at the bottom of the window. It briefly stays visible after you release the keys. The strip is an overlay, so it does not resize the terminal program underneath it.
Open the command palette with Ctrl + Shift + P to search for an action, see its binding, or find actions with no default shortcut.
Common default bindings
| Action | Default shortcut |
|---|---|
| Command palette | Ctrl+Shift+P |
| New tab | Ctrl+Shift+T |
| Split right | Ctrl+Shift+E or Ctrl+Shift+\ |
| Split down | Ctrl+Shift+D or Ctrl+Shift+- |
| Focus adjacent pane | Ctrl+Alt+arrow |
| Expand or restore focused pane | Ctrl+Shift+Z |
| Close pane | Ctrl+Shift+W |
| Close tab | Ctrl+Shift+Q |
| Rename tab | Ctrl+Shift+R |
| Terminal switcher | Ctrl+Shift+O |
| Find in terminal history | Ctrl+Shift+F |
| Copy selected text | Ctrl+Shift+C |
| Paste | Ctrl+Shift+V |
| Theme picker | Ctrl+Shift+, |
On macOS, Command+N opens a window and Command+Q quits the app. Additional Command-key actions depend on macos_shortcuts. Use your installed binding list instead of assuming that every macOS convention is enabled.
Customize shortcuts
The desktop reads ~/.config/prismattyc/config.toml. Set PRISMATTYC_CONFIG to use another file. Most settings apply live.
[keys]
command_palette = "ctrl+shift+p"
split_right = "ctrl+shift+e"
split_down = "ctrl+shift+d"
Read the configuration reference for action names and supported chords. Print the complete binding list for your build with:
prismattyc-host --list-bindings
Detach from a terminal attach
The terminal attach client has its own prefix: press Ctrl + \, release, then press D. That detaches the client and leaves the managed session running. It is separate from desktop shortcuts.
