Keyboard Shortcuts

Libre WebUI includes app-level shortcuts for navigation and message composition.

Global Shortcuts

Shortcut	Action
Cmd/Ctrl + K	Open or close the command palette
Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + O	Start a new chat in a tab
Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + U	Start a new Work task in a tab (with Work access)
Cmd/Ctrl + B	Toggle the sidebar
Cmd/Ctrl + ,	Open Settings
Cmd/Ctrl + D	Toggle light/dark theme
? or Shift + /	Open Settings on the Shortcuts tab
Esc	Close the settings modal

Global shortcuts never fire while an input has focus, and dialogs such as the command palette, artifact panel, image lightbox, and model selector each close with their own Esc. Cmd/Ctrl + K is the exception to the focus rule: it also works while a message composer has focus, so you can jump somewhere else without clearing what you were typing.

Command Palette

The palette fuzzy-searches your chats, Work tasks, and app actions, highlights the matched characters, and ranks results by relevance. From three characters on it also full-text searches your message, note, and document contents.

Shortcut	Action
Up / Down	Move the selection
Enter	Open the selected result
Esc	Close the palette

Chat Input

Shortcut	Action
Enter	Send the message
Shift + Enter	Insert a new line
/ (as the first character)	Open the prompt library menu
$ (before the cursor)	Open the skills menu

While a prompt or skill menu is open:

Shortcut	Action
Up / Down	Move the selection
Enter / Tab	Insert the selected prompt or skill
Esc	Close the menu, keeping the draft

Editing a Sent Message

While editing one of your own messages:

Shortcut	Action
Enter	Save the edit and resubmit the conversation
Esc	Cancel editing

Artifact Viewer

The artifact pane uses normal browser controls:

• Drag the panel edge to resize.
• Use Preview and Code tabs to switch views.
• Copy, download, open, or expand artifacts from the toolbar.
• In interactive HTML artifacts, click inside the preview first when the artifact needs keyboard focus.

Work

Composer

Shortcut	Action
Enter	Start the Work run
Shift + Enter	Insert a new line

File Editor

With the code editor focused:

Shortcut	Action
Cmd/Ctrl + S	Save the open workspace file
Shift + Alt + F	Format a supported file within size limits

Conversation and Workspace Split

On desktop, focus the divider between the conversation and workspace panes:

Shortcut	Action
Left / Right Arrow	Resize the conversation by 2 percentage points
Shift + Left/Right	Resize the conversation by 10 percentage points
Home	Use the smallest allowed conversation pane
End	Use the largest allowed conversation pane
Enter	Reset the split to its default

You can also drag the divider or double-click it to reset. The selected split is remembered for the current user. Arrow behavior follows the visual direction of the interface, including Arabic and other right-to-left layouts.

Workspace Tabs

With one of the Files, Activity, Git, Terminal, or Preview tabs focused:

Shortcut	Action
Left / Right Arrow	Select the adjacent tab in visual direction, wrapping around
Home	Select Files
End	Select Preview

Notes

Browser, OS, and input method shortcuts can take precedence over app shortcuts. If a shortcut does not fire, check whether the browser already owns that key combination.
