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, and so on
2. Shell-level keys — keys that are sent to the remote or local shell, such as Ctrl+C

If you want to copy text from the terminal, use NyaTerm's app-level shortcuts rather than assuming shell shortcuts become copy actions.

Conventions

• Ctrl / Cmd means Ctrl on Windows/Linux and Cmd on macOS
• Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+Shift+Tab are kept as-is because that matches the current implementation

Usage tips

• If you often copy logs from the terminal, memorize Ctrl / Cmd + Shift + C
• If you frequently switch between remote and local sessions, Ctrl / Cmd + Shift + N and the new-local-terminal shortcut will be your fastest entry points
• If you rely on screen lock, remember Ctrl / Cmd + Shift + L

tip

Use the current app settings and UI as the source of truth for shortcuts. If a future version adds configurable shortcuts, prefer the in-app interaction settings over this page.
