Keyboard Shortcuts

Keyboard shortcuts are the fastest way to move around 1DevTool. Once you learn the handful you use most often, you'll rarely need to reach for the mouse. This page lists every shortcut in the app.

The Shortcuts Worth Memorizing First

If you're new to 1DevTool, don't try to learn all of these at once. Start with these five — they cover most of what you'll do every day:

• Cmd+K / Ctrl+K — The Command Palette is a searchable list of every action in the app. When you don't remember a shortcut, open the palette and type what you're looking for. It's faster than hunting through menus.
• Cmd+T / Ctrl+T — Add a new terminal instantly. You'll do this constantly when spinning up agents.
• Cmd+I / Ctrl+I — Open the Agent Input Overlay. AI terminal UIs take over the keyboard, so this overlay gives you a separate, comfortable place to type long prompts.
• Cmd+1–9 / Ctrl+1–9 — Jump directly to a project by its sidebar position. Switching projects with the keyboard is much faster than reaching for the mouse.
• Cmd+Shift+L / Ctrl+Shift+L — Cycle through layout modes. Use this to go from grid view to column view or fullscreen without touching the toolbar.

Customizing Shortcuts

Every shortcut in 1DevTool can be changed to something that feels more natural to you.

To customize a shortcut:

1. Open Settings (click the gear icon in the sidebar, or press Cmd+, / Ctrl+,).
2. Go to the Keyboard tab.
3. Find the action you want to remap. Click the shortcut field next to it.
4. Press the new key combination you want to use.
5. Click Save.

If the combination you choose is already used by another action, 1DevTool will warn you and ask which binding should take priority. You can also reset all shortcuts back to defaults at any time with the Reset to defaults button at the bottom of the Keyboard settings page.

Tip: If a shortcut isn't working, check whether your operating system or another app has claimed that combination globally. System-level shortcuts take priority over app-level ones.
