Keyboard Shortcuts

Tab Management

Ctrl+Shift+T          new tab
Ctrl+Tab / Ctrl+Shift+Tab   next / previous tab
Ctrl+Shift+W          close tab
Ctrl+Shift+1..9       jump to profiles by index

Pane Management

Alt+Shift+D           split right
Alt+Shift+Minus       split down
Alt+Arrow             move focus between panes
Ctrl+Shift+W          close the active pane
Ctrl+Shift+Z          zoom pane

Copy and Paste

Copy is selected text automatically; Ctrl+Shift+C and Ctrl+Shift+V mirror classic terminals, and Ctrl+V works with bracketed paste to keep newlines literal.

Command Palette

Ctrl+Shift+P opens the command palette for every terminal action - split, theme, profile, focus - without remembering keybinding names.

Custom Actions

Actions in settings.json bind a command to a key:

{
  "command": "newTab",
  "keys": "ctrl+shift+n"
}

Key Points

• Shortcuts drive tabs and panes fast.
• Copy/paste fits modern terminal muscle memory.
• The palette covers every action.
• Custom keybindings are one JSON entry.
