Keyboard shortcuts

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.

Keys What happens
Esc Cancels the sign-in. The screen says so while it waits.
Keys What happens
Esc Backs out of the sign-out confirmation.
