The default Tejus keymap on Windows, including the IDE (Editor view), plus how to change any shortcut.

Shortcuts are written for Windows. In keybindings.json the same keys use mod, which is Ctrl on Windows. Press Ctrl+/ in the app to see the shortcuts that apply where you are.

"Outside terminal" means the shortcut does nothing while a terminal has keyboard focus, so the key still reaches your shell.

Navigate

Shortcut	Action	Context
`Ctrl+K`	Search projects and threads	Anywhere
`Ctrl+B`	Toggle the sidebar	Outside terminal
`Ctrl+1` … `Ctrl+9`	Jump to visible thread 1–9	Outside terminal
`Ctrl+Shift+]` / `Ctrl+Shift+[`	Next / previous visible thread	Outside terminal
`Ctrl+Tab` / `Ctrl+Shift+Tab`	Next / previous recent view	Anywhere
`Ctrl+PageDown` / `Ctrl+PageUp`	Next / previous open thread tab	Outside terminal
`Ctrl+Alt+→` / `Ctrl+Alt+←`	Next / previous space	Outside terminal
`Ctrl+Alt+1` … `Ctrl+Alt+9`	Jump to a space (`Ctrl+Alt+1` is Void)	Outside terminal
`Ctrl+Shift+O`	Add a project	Outside terminal
`Ctrl+I`	Import a thread	Outside terminal
`Ctrl+Alt+U`	Toggle Activity	Outside terminal
`Ctrl+F`	Find in the current thread	Outside terminal
`Ctrl+Shift+C`	Copy the active thread ID	Outside terminal
`Ctrl+Alt+Shift+A`	Archive the thread	Outside terminal
`Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S`	Snooze the thread	Outside terminal
`Ctrl+Alt+Shift+U`	Mark the thread unread	Outside terminal

Ctrl+1 … Ctrl+9 also stay inactive while the full-width terminal workspace is open.

Create

Shortcut	Action
`Ctrl+N`	New thread in the active project
`Ctrl+Shift+N`	New thread in the latest project
`Ctrl+Alt+N`	New chat without a project
`Ctrl+Shift+T`	New terminal thread
`Ctrl+Alt+C` / `Ctrl+Alt+X` / `Ctrl+Alt+R`	New Claude / Codex / Cursor thread
`Ctrl+\`	Split the current chat

All of these work outside a focused terminal.

Composer and models

Shortcut	Action	Context
`Ctrl+Shift+M`	Open or close the model picker	Outside terminal
`Alt+]` / `Alt+[`	Next / previous model of the active provider	Outside terminal
`Shift+Tab`	Next effort level for the selected model	Composer focused
`Ctrl+Shift+E`	Open or close the reasoning picker	Outside terminal
`Ctrl+Shift+U`	Open usage settings	Outside terminal

With the composer or its model picker focused, Shift+Tab steps through the effort levels the current model supports. The model picker opens to show the choice and closes about 1.5 seconds after your last key press. Models without effort levels keep normal Shift+Tab focus navigation.

Focus composer has no working default on Windows (its default chord uses the Windows key). Assign one in Settings → Keybindings if you want it.

Panels and terminals

Shortcut	Action	Context
`Ctrl+J`	Toggle the terminal	Anywhere
`Ctrl+T`	New terminal	Terminal focused
`Ctrl+W`	Close the terminal	Terminal focused
`Ctrl+Shift+J`	Open a full-width terminal workspace	Anywhere
`Ctrl+1` / `Ctrl+2`	Terminal tab / chat tab	Terminal workspace open
`Ctrl+W`	Close the active workspace panel	Terminal workspace open
`Ctrl+D`	Toggle the diff panel	Outside terminal
`Alt+↓` / `Alt+↑`	Next / previous change in the diff	Outside terminal
`Ctrl+Alt+S`	Toggle the side chat	Outside terminal
`Ctrl+Shift+B`	Toggle the browser	Outside terminal
`Ctrl+Alt+P`	Commit and push	Outside terminal
`Ctrl+O`	Open the project in your favorite external editor	Anywhere
`Ctrl+S`	Save the open file	Outside terminal

IDE (Editor view)

These apply while the IDE is open and take priority over the global shortcuts on the same keys.

Shortcut	Action	Context
`Ctrl+B`	Show or hide the sidebar	Outside terminal
`Ctrl+J`	Show or hide the terminal panel	Anywhere
`Ctrl+Alt+I`	Show or hide the chat	Anywhere
`Ctrl+W`	Close the active editor tab	Outside terminal
`Ctrl+Tab` / `Ctrl+Shift+Tab`	Next / previous editor tab	Anywhere
`Ctrl+P`	Search files by name (Search → Files)	Anywhere
`Ctrl+Shift+F`	Search in files (Search → In files)	Anywhere

Fixed shortcuts

These cannot be reassigned:

Shortcut	Action
`Ctrl+,`	Open Settings
`Ctrl+/`	Show the keybindings sheet
`Alt+←` / `Alt+→`	Go back / forward
`Ctrl+P`	File search
`Ctrl+Shift+F`	Search in files
`Ctrl+F`	Search the terminal (while a terminal has focus)

Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, Ctrl+X, Ctrl+A, Ctrl+Z, Ctrl+Shift+Z, Ctrl+Y, and Ctrl+← / Ctrl+→ / Ctrl+Backspace stay reserved for text editing.

In a chat, Ctrl+P and Ctrl+Shift+F open the search palette for file names or file contents. In the IDE they open its Search sidebar instead.

Change shortcuts

Open Settings → Keybindings to change, add, or remove the shortcut for any command. For full control, edit the file the app reads:

%USERPROFILE%\.tejus\userdata\keybindings.json

The file contains an ordered JSON array. When several rules match a key press, the last rule whose when expression is true wins. Set key to "unassigned" to remove a shortcut.

[
  { "key": "mod+g", "command": "terminal.toggle" },
  { "key": "mod+shift+g", "command": "terminal.new", "when": "terminalFocus" },
  { "key": "mod+shift+l", "command": "composer.focus.toggle", "when": "!terminalFocus" }
]

Context keys you can use in when include terminalFocus, terminalOpen, terminalWorkspaceOpen, composerFocus, and editorView. Expressions support !, &&, ||, and parentheses. The file holds up to 256 rules. Invalid entries are skipped and reported by the app instead of breaking the rest of the file.
