Keyboard Shortcuts
macOS keyboard shortcuts reference.
Tabs
| Shortcut | Action |
| ⌘T | New agent tab in the active pane |
| ⌘W | Close tab (soft close — tmux session stays alive on the server) |
| ⌘⇧[ | Previous tab |
| ⌘⇧] | Next tab |
| ⌘⇧R | Rename tab |
Panes
| Shortcut | Action |
| ⌘D | Split horizontally (left / right) |
| ⌘⇧D | Split vertically (top / bottom) |
| ⌘⌥← | Focus pane left |
| ⌘⌥→ | Focus pane right |
| ⌘⌥↑ | Focus pane up |
| ⌘⌥↓ | Focus pane down |
Palettes
| Shortcut | Action |
| ⌘P | File palette — fuzzy search files and switch tabs |
| ⌘⇧P | Command palette — search and run commands |
Typing > at the start of the file palette query switches to command mode (and vice versa).
Terminal
| Shortcut | Action |
| ⌘V | Paste text (preserves bracketed-paste mode) |
| ⌘V | Paste image (when clipboard holds an image) — uploads to the server and injects the path |
Notes
- Tab and pane shortcuts require an active workspace.
- Closing a tab with ⌘W is non-destructive — the tmux session keeps running on the server. To destroy a session, use Kill Session from the sidebar context menu.
- Pane focus navigation is geometric — it picks the pane whose center is nearest in the given direction.
- Closing the last tab in a pane auto-collapses it (when the workspace has other panes).
