Keyboard shortcuts — LADLE docs

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.

⌘KOpen command palette / global search

⌘NNew chat in current project (or in the default project if none)

⌘/Open the model / plan-tier switcher

⌘,Open settings

⌘⇧DToggle sidebar

⌘⇧MOpen My Table (personal impact page)

?Show this shortcut reference in-app

EscClose any modal, panel, or dropdown

Composer — inside a chat

Shortcuts active when the message composer is focused. Escape defocuses; the sidebar and chat-view sets become active instead.

↵Send message

⇧↵Newline within the composer without sending

⌘KToggle web search for the next message

⌘IInsert inline code

⌘⇧FAttach file (opens file picker)

⌘⇧VPaste as plain text (strip formatting)

⌘ZUndo last edit in the composer

Chat view — reading or navigating a thread

Shortcuts when a chat is open but the composer isn't focused (press Esc to defocus).

J / KScroll down / up one assistant reply

G GJump to top of chat

G EJump to end of chat

⌘EEdit the last user message

⌘RRegenerate the last assistant response

⌘⇧CCopy the current response as Markdown

⌘⇧BBranch this chat (fork from current point)

Search results — after ⌘K

Command-palette / search view shortcuts — active once the ⌘K palette opens and until you dismiss it with Escape.

TypeFilter as you type across chats, projects, help, and web results

↑ / ↓Move selection between result groups

TabJump to the next result category (chats → projects → docs → web)

⇧↵Open selected result in new tab / pane

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.
