Command palette & Open Quickly

Two keyboard panels drive Termio without the mouse — the Command Palette runs any action, and Open Quickly jumps to any session, project, or file.

Termio has two overlay panels that keep your hands on the keyboard. One runs actions, the other jumps to things. Both are fuzzy-matched, so you type a few characters and pick from the narrowed list.

Command Palette — ⌘⇧P

Press ⌘⇧P to open the Command Palette: a searchable list of every action in the app, each showing its own keyboard shortcut. Type to filter, arrow to a command, and press Return to run it — splitting a pane, opening Settings, toggling the inspector, starting an agent, whatever the app can do.

Hold while pressing Return (⌘↩) to run a command and keep the palette open, so you can fire several actions in a row without reopening it.

It doubles as a way to learn the shortcuts: every command lists its key equivalent right there, so the palette you reach for today teaches you the binding you'll reach for tomorrow.

Open Quickly — ⌘⇧O

Press ⌘⇧O to jump somewhere. Open Quickly searches across three kinds of target at once, grouped under headers:

  • Sessions — every running session, by title. The fastest way to switch when the sidebar is full.
  • Recent — projects and folders you've opened before, to reopen in a keystroke.
  • Files — once you start typing, the current project's files (from git ls-files, so ignored paths stay out), opened straight into the editor.

It's the "jump to anything" companion to the Command Palette's "do anything." For searching inside files rather than by name, use the inspector's Search tab.

Everything is rebindable

⌘⇧P and ⌘⇧O are the defaults, but like every shortcut in Termio they can be changed under Settings ▸ Keyboard. See Keyboard shortcuts.
