Keyboard shortcuts let you jump around the Cake Agents web UI without reaching for the mouse. A few shortcuts are built in, and nine are configurable per user.

View all shortcuts

Press Shift + / anywhere in the web UI to open the Keyboard Shortcuts modal. The modal lists every active shortcut, including any you have customized. You can also open it from the user menu in the bottom-left corner: click your name, then Keyboard Shortcuts.

Built-in shortcuts

These shortcuts are always available and cannot be changed.

Configurable shortcuts

You can rebind these shortcuts. Most defaults use Alt instead of the meta key (Cmd / Ctrl) because meta combinations are usually reserved by the operating system or browser. Toggle sidebar uses Cmd / Ctrl + B to match VS Code and other editors.

Move between sessions

Next session and Previous session step through the same list the sidebar shows. Starred sessions come first, followed by recent sessions.
  • The shortcuts include sessions beyond the visible part of the sidebar, so you can reach older sessions without scrolling.
  • The shortcuts use your current sidebar filters for user, visibility, and status. To navigate a different set of sessions, change the filters in the sidebar.
  • At the top of Recent Sessions, Previous session goes to the last starred session, if you have any.
  • Navigation stops at the first and last sessions. It doesn’t wrap around.

Change the conversation size

Increase conversation size and Decrease conversation size change the conversation font size one step at a time, from Extra-Small to Extra-Large. At the smallest or largest size, the shortcut does nothing. Cake Agents saves the new size to your conversation size setting.

Change a shortcut

  1. In the bottom-left, click your name → User Settings.
  2. Open the Interface tab.
  3. Under Hotkeys, click the shortcut you want to change and press the new key combination.
Your change saves automatically and applies immediately. Clear a shortcut to disable that action.

Notes

  • Some combinations may be intercepted by your operating system or browser and never reach Cake Agents. If a shortcut appears to do nothing, try a different combination.
  • Shortcut preferences are stored per user and apply anywhere you sign in to the same Cake Agents environment.
