LADLE is designed to run mostly from the keyboard. The shortcut set is small on purpose — one mnemonic per surface, no chording gymnastics. This page enumerates every combination the product recognizes. If a shortcut is missing here, the product doesn't recognize it and you can request it via help@ladle.chat.
Global — work anywhere in the app
Shortcuts that work from any screen. On Mac, use ⌘; on Windows/Linux, use Ctrl.
Composer — inside a chat
Shortcuts active when the message composer is focused. Escape defocuses; the sidebar and chat-view sets become active instead.
Chat view — reading or navigating a thread
Shortcuts when a chat is open but the composer isn't focused (press Esc to defocus).
Search results — after ⌘K
Command-palette / search view shortcuts — active once the ⌘K palette opens and until you dismiss it with Escape.
Reduced motion and screen readers
Every shortcut above is intended to work with a screen reader active. If a shortcut collides with an assistive-tech reserved combo on your platform, use the equivalent visible control (all shortcuts have one). Reduced-motion respects: shortcut activations skip fade/slide micro-animations.
