Mod means Command on macOS and Ctrl on Windows. Some terminal shortcuts override a global shortcut while the terminal has focus.
Global and navigation
Configurable new-chat shortcuts
Open Settings → Workspace to configure:- New Chat — a system-wide shortcut that can open Studio from another app. It is disabled by default so Studio does not take another application’s New command.
- New Chat (with App Context) — starts a chat with the foreground app, screenshot, and Computer Use context.
Tabs and editor groups
Terminal
These bindings apply while the terminal handles the key event and can be changed by Studio’s terminal keybinding system.
Copy and paste continue to use the normal platform shortcuts. In a terminal, copy requires an active selection; otherwise the underlying shell or application may receive the keystroke.
Editors, files, and diagrams
The focused surface wins when two actions share a chord. For example,
Mod+D splits a focused terminal but duplicates a selected diagram element.
Procedure shortcut triggers
A procedure can have a local shortcut trigger. Choose a chord in the procedure trigger editor or ask Copilot to add a shortcut trigger. If you do not specify a chord, Studio assigns the next availableCommandOrControl+Alt+Shift+number accelerator.
Treat a procedure trigger like an executable shortcut. Review the procedure, arguments, host binding, and required approvals before enabling it globally.
Queue and steer
While Copilot runs, Enter follows Settings → AI → Follow-up behavior.Command+Enter on macOS or Control+Enter performs the opposite action:
- Queue preserves the run and delivers the message later.
- Steer injects the correction into the active run.
