Keyboard shortcuts — Quorum

Quorum Terminal is keyboard-first. Every shortcut below is the shipped default from the in-app registry, and each one is rebindable in Settings → Keyboard. On Windows and Linux, read ⌘ as Ctrl except where a row calls out a platform-specific binding.

Legend: ⌘ Cmd (Ctrl on Windows/Linux) · ⇧ Shift · ⌥ Option/Alt · ⏎ Enter.

Terminals

Shortcut	Action
`⌘ ⇧ T`	New terminal
`⌘ ⇧ N`	Split terminal right (or new terminal)
macOS: `⌘ W` or `⌘ ⇧ W`; Windows/Linux: `Ctrl ⇧ W`	Close terminal
`⌘ ⏎`	Open the terminal's file reference

Shortcut	Action
`⌘ [` or `⌘ ⇧ Tab`	Previous terminal
`⌘ ]` or `⌘ Tab`	Next terminal
`⌘ 1`–`⌘ 9`, `⌘ 0`	Jump to a terminal by position

Projects & files

`⌘ E`	Focus the project list
`⌘ ⇧ E`	Focus the file tree
`⌘ ⇧ [`	Previous project
`⌘ ⇧ ]`	Next project

Panels

Shortcut	Action
`⌘ ⇧ H`	Toggle history panel
`⌘ ⇧ G`	Toggle source control panel
`⌘ ⇧ P`	Toggle plugins panel
`⌘ ⇧ S`	Toggle saved prompts
`⌘ ⇧ A`	Cycle to the next agent waiting for input

Shortcut	Action
`⌘ K`	Start the selected AI tool
`⌘ I`	Initialize the project with the selected tool
`⌘ ⇧ C`	Commit changes with the selected tool
`⌘ H`	Open the prompt history file

AI provider shortcuts

These keys pass straight through to the running CLI — they are the agent's own shortcuts, not Quorum Terminal's, and apply while an agent is focused. Claude Code, for example:

Shortcut	Action
`⌥ P`	Switch model
`⌥ T`	Toggle extended thinking
`⌥ O`	Toggle fast mode
`⇧ Tab` or `⌥ M`	Cycle permission mode

Customizing shortcuts

Every Quorum Terminal binding above is editable. Open Settings → Keyboard, pick an action, and record a new combination — the editor flags conflicts with other bindings and lets you reset to the default. Provider shortcuts are owned by the CLI, so they are not configurable from Quorum Terminal.
