# Shortcuts

> Every default Vibex shortcut and how to rebind them.

You can view, change, and reset Vibex shortcuts in **Settings → Shortcuts**. Conflicting key bindings are rejected with **Shortcut is invalid or already in use**.

## Rebindable shortcuts

These 15 actions can be rebound in Settings:

| Action                         | Default key                    | Group        |

| Global search                  | `cmd-k`                        | Navigation   |
| Navigate back                  | `alt-left`                     | Navigation   |
| Navigate forward               | `alt-right`                    | Navigation   |
| Retry runtime                  | `cmd-r`                        | Runtime      |
| Save active file               | `cmd-s`                        | Editor       |
| Go to line in editor           | `ctrl-g`                       | Editor       |
| Undo image edit                | `cmd-z` / `ctrl-z`             | Image editor |
| Redo image edit                | `cmd-shift-z` / `ctrl-shift-z` | Image editor |

<Note>
  The table uses a `cmd-` prefix, which is the Command key on macOS and the Ctrl key on Windows / Linux. Only the image editor's undo / redo are defined per platform.
</Note>

**Reset** restores a single default, and **Reset all** clears every custom mapping.

## Fixed shortcuts

These shortcuts are fixed behavior:

| Action                            | Keys                                             | Scope                                                                                                                                             |
| --------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Close the current preview tab     | `cmd-w`                                          | Non-terminal tabs                                                                                                                                 |
| Cycle through tabs                | `cmd-tab` / `cmd-shift-tab`                      | Non-terminal tabs                                                                                                                                 |
| Switch to the previous / next tab | `cmd-pageup` / `cmd-pagedown`                    | Non-terminal tabs                                                                                                                                 |
| Terminal copy / paste / search    | `ctrl-shift-c` / `ctrl-shift-v` / `ctrl-shift-f` | Terminal tabs                                                                                                                                     |
| Tab completion                    | `tab` / `shift-tab`                              | Terminal tabs (sent to the shell instead of moving focus)                                                                                         |
| Recall an earlier user message    | `up` / `down`                                    | Session composer (Up starts only from an empty composer; typing ends the walk; Down steps back toward the newest and restores your draft past it) |
| Close an overlay                  | `escape`                                         | Runtime manager, find bar, Global search (the first press clears the query, the second closes)                                                    |

## Mouse actions

| Action                        | Effect                                                              |
| ----------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Drag a file tab               | Reorder it, or drag it to an edge to split                          |
| Drag a panel edge             | Resize the sidebar / right rail / terminal                          |
| Right-click a file tree entry | Open the file actions menu                                          |
| Right-click a tab             | Open the tab actions menu (close, split, pin, and so on)            |
| Drag a file                   | Move it within the file tree; near an edge it scrolls automatically |
| Zoom the image editor         | Scroll to zoom, drag to pan                                         |

## Search entry points

Vibex has several searches with different scopes. Do not confuse them:

| Search                                                | Scope                                                                      | Entry point                          |
| ----------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------ |
| **Find in conversation**                              | The current session timeline                                               | `cmd-f`                              |
| **Global search**                                     | All session titles and message bodies, settings entries, and quick actions | The title-bar search icon or `cmd-k` |
| **Search workspace files**                            | File contents in the current workspace                                     | The file tree                        |
| **Search MCP** / **Search Skills** / **Search Agent** | The matching Config Center list                                            | The top of each list                 |
| **Search commits**                                    | Git commit history                                                         | The Commits tab of the Git panel     |
| **Search settings**                                   | Settings options                                                           | The top of Settings                  |

<Note>
  **Global search** is the only cross-type entry point: one query answers over sessions, settings entries, and quick actions at once, and `cmd-k` opens it from anywhere. Session search no longer lives in the sidebar; its trigger moved to the title bar, immediately before the runtime control.
