Keyboard Shortcuts

Shortcut behavior can vary slightly by OS and focus context, but these are core defaults.

Chat Input

• Enter: send message
• Shift + Enter: newline
• @: open file mention suggestions
• Cmd/Ctrl + V: paste text or image

Navigation Habits

Agent Observer currently relies heavily on panel-focused interactions.

High-value habits:

• keep Explorer focused when changing workspace context
• use Search before prompting for multi-file work
• verify active panel before typing shortcuts

Terminal Notes

• terminal keybindings follow your shell/editor defaults
• terminal tabs show status badges for runtime visibility

Operator Tips

1. Use keyboard-first file lookup before chat prompts.
2. Keep prompts short and iterative for faster validation loops.
3. Use one focused tab/workspace when running high-risk tasks.
