Keyboard Shortcuts & Commands

The AIUS TUI is driven by keyboard shortcuts, but every action also has a /-command you can type in the prompt. Terminals differ in which key combinations they can deliver — if a shortcut does nothing in your terminal, use its slash command instead. They do exactly the same thing.

Two ways to run any action

Keyboard shortcut

Press the key combination — e.g. Ctrl+R to rename the session.

Slash command

Type / in the prompt to open the command list, then start typing to filter (e.g. /rename). Every shortcut has one.

The leader key (`Ctrl+X`)

Some shortcuts are chords that start with the leader key, Ctrl+X.

Ctrl+X on its own does nothing visible — it is a prefix. Press it, then press the second key within a couple of seconds (a hint panel shows the pending options). For example Ctrl+X then Q exits the app. If your terminal can’t send Ctrl+X (or the chord), use the slash command in the tables below.
