Keyboard shortcuts - Cake Docs

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

Action	Shortcut
Open Spotlight (command palette)	`Cmd` / `Ctrl` + `K`, or `/`
Open the Keyboard Shortcuts modal	`Shift` + `/`

Configurable shortcuts

You can rebind these shortcuts. Defaults use Alt instead of the meta key (Cmd / Ctrl) because meta combinations are usually reserved by the operating system or browser.

Action	Default	Availability
New session	`Alt` + `Shift` + `N`	All users
Compact session	`Alt` + `Shift` + `C`	While viewing a session you can edit
User settings	`Alt` + `,`	All users
Organization settings	`Alt` + `;`	Users with the admin role

Change a shortcut

In the bottom-left, click your name → User Settings.
Open the Interface tab.
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.
