The web app and the desktop app each show their keys where you use them: the
command palette prints its own along the bottom, and each step of a launch in the
desktop app prints its own too.
Two work anywhere:
| Keys |
What happens |
| ⌘K on a Mac, Ctrl K elsewhere |
Opens the command palette. The same keys close it again. |
| Esc |
Closes the dialog or panel on top. |
| Keys |
What happens |
| ↑ ↓ |
Move down and up the results. |
| Enter |
Opens the highlighted result. |
| Tab |
Searches inside the highlighted repository. Rows that can do this print a ⇥ Open chip. |
| Esc |
Leaves the repository you opened, and goes back to the mixed results. From there it closes the palette. |
Projects, My toolkits, Community, and Tool Builder → Sources all take the
same two:
| Keys |
What happens |
| Enter |
Runs the search. |
| Esc |
Clears it. |
| Keys |
What happens |
| ↑ ↓ |
Move through the toolkits. |
| Enter |
Takes the highlighted one. |
| Esc |
Closes the list and clears what you typed. |
Each step of a launch prints the keys it takes along the bottom of the window.
| Keys |
What happens |
| ↑ ↓ |
Move through the rows. These work while the cursor is still in the search box, so you can type and then move. |
| ← → |
Switch between the two columns on the coding-app step. That step is the only one with two. |
| Enter |
Takes the highlighted row: select, continue, or launch, depending on the step. |
| Esc |
Goes back a step. |
| / |
Puts the cursor in the search box. The project step is the one with a search box, and it prints a / chip. |
| ⌘1 to ⌘9 on a Mac, Ctrl 1 to Ctrl 9 elsewhere |
Picks a coding app by the number printed on its tile. |
Inside a text field the field keeps its own keys: ↑ and ↓ still move the
rows, and Esc and / belong to what you are typing.
While the account form is open it owns the keyboard, and none of the above
applies until you are through it.
