Rebind keyboard shortcuts

Change Muxie's keyboard shortcuts under Settings, and understand which actions can't be rebound.

You can change most of Muxie’s keyboard shortcuts to suit your habits.

Rebind an action

Open Settings → Keyboard to change shortcuts. Your overrides are stored in the keybindings configuration map as action-id → chord. For example:

{ "new-tab": "ctrl+e" }

This rebinds the new tab action to Ctrl+E.

Note: On macOS, chords that use Ctrl on Linux and Windows typically use Cmd. Set the chord that matches the keys you actually press.

Actions you can’t rebind

Most actions are rebindable, but a few are fixed:

  • The jump-to-session shortcuts, Ctrl+1 through Ctrl+9.
  • The DevTools chord.
  • Terminal-only copy and paste chords.

For the full list of default shortcuts, see Keyboard shortcuts.

When a shortcut won’t fire

This build can’t always reach the operating system menu — the window is frameless, and on KDE/Wayland the global menu isn’t available. If a menu-based shortcut doesn’t fire, use the command palette instead.

Tip: Press Ctrl+P to open the command palette. It’s the reliable way to reach any action, even one whose shortcut isn’t working.
