Keyboard shortcuts¶

All commands share one keymap. This page lists the defaults. The in-app sheet (Ctrl+Shift+/, or Settings → Keyboard) supports searching, rebinding and resetting them.

Mod is Ctrl, or Command on macOS

One default table serves every platform. Chords marked Ctrl below are Cmd on macOS. A few extra Command-only chords exist on macOS where Ctrl belongs to the shell: Cmd+W closes a tab, and Cmd+1 … Cmd+9 select one. Moving focus between panes takes Cmd+Option and an arrow on macOS, because Option+Left and Option+Right jump by word there.

Default binding rules¶

The shell keeps its keys. Ctrl+W deletes a word and Ctrl+2 … Ctrl+8 send their control characters, so Muxus uses Ctrl+Shift+W and the Alt number row.
Numbered tabs are window-wide. Hold Alt to reveal the number on every tab; Alt+1 … Alt+9 activate those exact tabs across all panes.
Keys fall through when they do not apply. Alt+Left moves focus only when a pane is to the left; otherwise the shell receives it. On macOS, Option+Left and Option+Right always go to the shell as word jumps.
Chords follow the printed key cap. Ctrl+Shift+Z is the key labelled Z on QWERTZ and AZERTY. Arrows and keys whose character a modifier mangles use their physical position.
Rebinding is supported. A command can take a second chord, replace one, or be unbound. Conflicts are flagged during recording.
