Keyboard Shortcuts

Glint uses a hierarchical shortcut system. Shortcuts are scoped to the active context — shortcuts from deeper layers take priority when that context is active.

Shortcut Layers

From lowest to highest priority:

  1. App — always active
  2. Repo Tab — active when a Repo or Worktree tab is focused
  3. Content Tab — active for the current content tab type
  4. Mode — active for the current mode within a content tab

Viewing All Shortcuts

Press Ctrl+/ or F1 to open the keyboard shortcuts dialog. It shows all shortcuts across the hierarchy, including which layers are currently active or inactive.

Notes

  • Shortcuts use key position (event.code), so they work consistently across keyboard layouts
  • When a Terminal tab is active, most shortcuts are passed through to the terminal
  • Text input fields take priority over single-key shortcuts
