Keyboard shortcuts
Everything in Flotilla is a keystroke away. On Linux, Ctrl takes the place of ⌘.
Anywhere in the app
These work wherever you are in the app.
| Mac | Linux | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| ⌘N | Ctrl+N | New thread |
| ⌘K | Ctrl+K | Search threads, messages and commands |
| ⌘1 to ⌘9 | Ctrl+1 to 9 | Open the first to ninth thread in the sidebar |
| ⇧⌘], ⇧⌘[ | Ctrl+Shift+], [ | Next and previous thread |
| ⇧⌘S | Ctrl+Shift+S | Archive the open thread and open the next |
| ⌘Z | Ctrl+Z | Undo an archive, for 5 seconds after it |

| ⌘, | Ctrl+, | Settings |

Writing a message
In the message box, and on New thread.
| Keys | What it does |
|---|---|
| Enter | Send, or steer while a turn runs. On New thread, start the thread and open it. |
| ⌘Enter | On New thread, start the thread and stay, to start another. |
| ⇧Enter | A new line. |
| ↑, ↓ | In an empty message box, bring back earlier prompts, and go forward again. |
| /, $, @ | Open the menu of skills and commands, Codex's skills, or files. See Slash commands, skills and @-mentions. |
| ↑, ↓, Enter or Tab, Esc | In those menus: move, pick, close. |
In search
In the search box that ⌘K opens.
| Keys | What it does |
|---|---|
| ↑, ↓ | Move through the results. |
| Enter | Open the thread or message, or run the command. |
| > first | Show only commands. |
| Esc | Clear what you typed, then close. |
With the pointer
A few things are quicker with the pointer.
- Double-click a thread's row or its title to rename it.
- Right-click a row for the thread's menu, and a message for Copy and Cite.
- ⇧-click models in the model list to start one prompt on several.
- Press and hold Hold to merge until it fills.
On the Mac, most of these are also in the menu bar, under Flotilla, View and Thread. Linux has no menu bar: search (Ctrl+K) lists every command, with its shortcut.
