The Braide desktop app exposes a small set of application-wide keyboard shortcuts via the system menu bar. These shortcuts are only available in the desktop (Electron) build — they are not wired up in the standalone braide:dev web app, since web pages cannot install OS-level menu accelerators.
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
⌘N / Ctrl+N | New Session |
⌘T / Ctrl+T | Toggle Terminal Pane |
⌘, / Ctrl+, | Open Settings |
New Session (⌘N) — Equivalent to clicking the New Session button in the session sidebar. A project must be selected; otherwise the shortcut has no effect. See Running a Session.
Toggle Terminal Pane (⌘T) — Shows or hides the embedded terminal panel for the currently selected session. The shortcut is a no-op when no session is selected (the terminal is per-session). See Terminal Usage.
Open Settings (⌘,) — Opens the Settings modal. Follows the standard macOS convention for opening preferences. See Settings & Preferences.
All three shortcuts also appear as menu items in the system menu bar:
The menu bar is the canonical reference for the current shortcut bindings.
