Use these keyboard shortcuts to navigate Vinci Work (desktop) faster, on Mac (Cmd) and Windows/Linux (Ctrl). Vinci Code has its own shortcuts — see the end of this article.
Settings and the command palette
- Cmd/Ctrl+, — Open Settings, the fastest way in
- Cmd/Ctrl+K — Open command palette
- Keeps you in flow without reaching for the mouse
Session and workspace navigation
- Cmd/Ctrl+N — New session
- Cmd/Ctrl+T — Next session tab
- Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+T — Previous session tab
- Cmd/Ctrl+1 through 9 — Jump to workspace by sidebar order (1 is the first, 9 is the ninth)
- Cmd+[ and Cmd+] on Mac, Alt+Left and Alt+Right on Windows and Linux — Back to the previous surface and forward again
Search and find
- Cmd/Ctrl+F — Find text in the current conversation
- Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+F — Search across every session
Panels and layout
- Cmd/Ctrl+B — Toggle the sidebar
- Cmd/Ctrl+J — Toggle terminal panel (hides/shows the output panel)
Tips for faster navigation
-
Use Cmd/Ctrl+K to get around — It's faster than menus, and it reaches a few places the Settings menu doesn't: search for "updates" or "recovery" to open those screens.
-
Keyboard shortcuts for workspaces — If you have 3 workspaces, Cmd/Ctrl+1, Cmd/Ctrl+2, Cmd/Ctrl+3 switch between them instantly
-
Session tabs — Cmd/Ctrl+T and Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+T cycle through open sessions in the current workspace
In Vinci Code only
Vinci Code is a terminal app with its own set of shortcuts. The ones above are for Vinci Work: most do not exist in Vinci Code, and a few of the same key combinations do something different there.
