Keyboard Shortcuts

The easiest way to understand NyaTerm shortcuts is to split them into two groups:

1. App-level shortcuts — toggle panels, create sessions, copy terminal content; handled by NyaTerm
2. Shell-level keys — keys sent to the remote or local shell, such as Ctrl+C

Copying terminal text needs an app-level shortcut; Ctrl+C in the shell will not become a copy action.

Conventions

• Ctrl / Cmd means Ctrl on Windows/Linux and Cmd on macOS
• The groups below match the categories in Settings → Keybindings, so the two are easy to cross-reference
• Every shortcut is rebindable — see Customizing shortcuts

Terminal operations

Shortcut	Action
Ctrl / Cmd + Shift + C	Copy (copies visible terminal text when there is no selection)
Ctrl / Cmd + Shift + V or Shift + Insert	Paste
Ctrl / Cmd + Shift + X	Paste selected text
Ctrl / Cmd + Shift + F	Find
Ctrl / Cmd + L	Clear screen
Ctrl / Cmd + Shift + A	Select all visible terminal content
Ctrl / Cmd + Shift + G	Manage synchronized input groups
Alt + R	Show command suggestions (recent history and pinned quick commands when the input line is empty)
Ctrl / Cmd + Shift + R	Start or stop recording the current session

The terminal itself also accepts Ctrl / Cmd + V and context-menu paste.

Tabs and sessions

Shortcut	Action
Ctrl / Cmd + Shift + N	New SSH session (opens the saved connections page)
Ctrl / Cmd + Alt + N	Open the temporary SSH link dialog
Ctrl / Cmd + Shift + S	Open Command Palette
Ctrl / Cmd + `	New local terminal
Ctrl / Cmd + Shift + W	Close current tab
Ctrl + Tab	Next tab
Ctrl + Shift + Tab	Previous tab
Ctrl / Cmd + 1-8	Jump to tabs 1 through 8
Ctrl / Cmd + 9	Jump to the last tab
Ctrl / Cmd + Shift + D	Duplicate current session
Ctrl / Cmd + Shift + M	Multiplex the current SSH connection
Ctrl / Cmd + Alt + D	Duplicate current session with a startup command
Ctrl / Cmd + Alt + M	Multiplex SSH with a startup command

View and layout

Shortcut	Action
Ctrl / Cmd + Shift + E	Toggle the left sidebar
Ctrl / Cmd + Shift + B	Toggle the right sidebar
Ctrl / Cmd + =	Zoom in
Ctrl / Cmd + -	Zoom out
Ctrl / Cmd + 0	Reset zoom
Ctrl / Cmd + ,	Open settings
Ctrl / Cmd + Alt + I	Open AI chat
Ctrl / Cmd + Shift + P	Open the bottom quick commands panel

Ctrl / Cmd + Shift + P is labeled Show all commands in settings. It opens the bottom quick commands panel, not the Command Palette overlay — that one is Ctrl / Cmd + Shift + S.

File explorer

Shortcut	Action
F2	Rename the selected file or directory

This shortcut applies only while the file explorer has focus.

Saved connections

Shortcut	Action
Ctrl / Cmd + Alt + C	Copy the selected saved connections

Special

Shortcut	Action
Ctrl / Cmd + Shift + L	Lock the screen

Customizing shortcuts

Settings → Keybindings lists all 32 shortcuts grouped by the six categories above, and all of them can be changed:

• Click a shortcut to start recording, press the new combination, then press Enter or Save
• If the combination is already taken, the conflicting entry is named and nothing is overwritten
• Changed entries are marked Custom; you can Reset one or Reset all
• The search box filters by name

Switch to tab 1-9 is a template shortcut: record it by pressing your modifiers plus the digit 1, and it expands to 1 through 9 at runtime.

Practical advice

• Copying logs from the terminal often: remember Ctrl / Cmd + Shift + C
• Managing remote and local sessions together: Ctrl / Cmd + Shift + N and Ctrl / Cmd + `
• Using the lock screen: remember Ctrl / Cmd + Shift + L
