Keyboard shortcuts use Command on macOS and Ctrl on Windows unless a row says otherwise. When a text field, dialog, or specialized editor has focus, it may handle the same keys differently.
Application and navigation
| Action | macOS | Windows |
|---|---|---|
| Open Settings | Command-, | Ctrl-, |
| Quick Open | Command-P | Ctrl-P |
| Search the workspace | Command-Shift-F | Ctrl-Shift-F |
| Open Command Lens | Command-K | Ctrl-K |
| New blank editor tab | Command-T | Ctrl-T |
| Close the active tab | Command-W | Ctrl-W |
| Toggle Chat | Command-J | Ctrl-J |

| Open the Assistant from Chat | Command-Shift-J | Ctrl-Shift-J |
| Split or close the secondary editor panel | Command-\ | Ctrl-\ |

Files, code, and terminal
| Action | macOS | Windows |
|---|---|---|
| Save the active file | Command-S | Ctrl-S |
| Run the active supported code file | Command-Shift-R | Ctrl-Shift-R |
| Toggle the terminal | Ctrl-backtick | Ctrl-backtick |
Saving a recognized code file also applies its configured formatter before the save. Run is available only for file types supported by the code runner.
Work navigation
Work provides focused keyboard navigation when its main surface, rather than a text field, has focus:
- J/K or the arrow keys move the selected item.
- N opens or focuses item creation.
- I moves the selected item to In progress.
- D moves the selected item to Done.
- A assigns the selected item to you.
- P cycles its priority.
- M opens its discussion.
- B, L, and R switch to Board, List, and Roadmap.
Single-key actions can immediately change the selected item. Confirm the selection before using them.
Learn a shortcut in context
Menus, button tooltips, and command results show shortcuts where they are available. Use those in-product labels as the current reference if a shortcut has changed on your platform.
