Keyboard shortcuts

Shortcuts are grouped by the surface they act on. Global shortcuts work anywhere unless a terminal has focus.

Shortcut Action
⌘K Open the command palette
C New ticket
⌘1 to ⌘9 Switch to the first through ninth project in the rail
⌘B Toggle the sidebar
⌥⌘B Toggle the ticket detail rail
⌘[ Back
⌘] Forward
⌘+ / ⌘- / ⌘0 Zoom the app in, out, or back to actual size

The command palette searches tickets and sessions across every project, and carries Change theme… as an action. Selecting a session opens it; selecting a ticket opens its workspace, switching projects on the way if it belongs to another one.

C is a bare keypress with no modifier, so Volli suppresses it while you’re typing: in text fields, in the editor, in a terminal, or with a dialog already open. ⌘[ behaves the same way, since it means outdent inside an editor.

Shortcut Action When
Esc Deselect the selected card A card is selected
Enter Add the card and keep the composer open The inline composer is open
Esc Close the inline composer The inline composer is open
Shortcut Action
⌘Enter Create the ticket
⇧⌘Enter Create the ticket and start its agent
Shortcut Action When
Esc Close the ticket and return to the board Nothing else has focus
⌘Enter Post a comment The comment box has focus
Esc Cancel an in-progress comment edit You’re editing a comment

Esc won’t close the ticket while a terminal has focus. It goes to the terminal instead, where it usually means “interrupt”.

Shortcut Action
⌘D Split the pane vertically
⇧⌘D Split the pane horizontally
⌘⌥← ⌘⌥→ ⌘⌥↑ ⌘⌥↓ Move focus to the adjacent pane
⌘+ / ⌘- Change the terminal font size
⌘0 Reset the terminal font size

Font-size shortcuts change the focused terminal only. To scale the whole app, move focus out of the terminal first.

Shortcut Action
Enter Apply the highlighted theme
Esc Cancel and revert the preview

Moving through the list previews each theme live. Nothing is saved until you press Enter. See Theming.
