Keyboard shortcuts
Every shortcut in Raven, grouped the way the app groups them.
The full list is also in Settings › Keybindings (⌘/), which is the authoritative one — it reads the live bindings from the app.
Workspaces and tabs
| Action | Shortcut |
|---|---|
| New Workspace | ⌘N |
| New Workspace in Dialog | ⌘⇧N |
| New Tab | ⌘T |
| Add Project… | ⌘O |
| Pin the new workspace (on the New Workspace page or dialog) | ⌘⇧P |
| Pick a tab kind (in the new-tab menu) | 1–3 |
⌘N opens a new workspace draft in the center: the chat composer with a row of pills above it — the project, Local / Worktree, and the branch — plus a pin toggle, and your first message starts the workspace. ⌘⇧N opens the same composer as a dialog over whatever you’re looking at. ⌘T opens a new chat straight away; with Claude Code and Codex tabs turned on in Settings › Chats it opens a menu instead, where a bare digit picks Chat, Claude, or Codex — so ⌘T then 1 is a new chat without touching the mouse.
Chat
| Action | Shortcut |
|---|---|
| Focus Chat Input | ⌘I |
| Cycle mode (in the composer) | ⇧Tab |
| Send / new line | Enter / ⇧Enter |
| Stop the running turn (in the composer) | Esc Esc |
| Cancel an edit, or clear the board selection | Esc |
| Find in conversation | ⌘F |
Navigation
| Action | Shortcut |
|---|---|
| Go to File | ⌘P |
| Search in Files | ⌘⇧F |
| Next Unread Tab, Workspace, or Pinned Workspace | ⌘⇧U |
| Designs | ⌘⇧B |
| Archive | ⌘⇧A |
Designs opens the designs hub; Archive opens the Settings › Archive page.
Panels
| Action | Shortcut |
|---|---|
| Toggle Left Sidebar | ⌘B |
| Toggle Right Panel | ⌘. |
| Show Files | ⌘E |
| Show Changes | ⌘D |
| Show Context Library | ⌘⇧E |
| Show Design | ⌘⇧D |
| Show Browser | ⌘⇧W |
| Show Simulator | ⌘⇧S |
The Show shortcuts always show their surface and never toggle it. ⌘. hides the panel, or brings back whichever surface was showing last.
Terminal
| Action | Shortcut |
|---|---|
| Focus Terminal | ⌘J |
| Toggle Terminal | ⌘⇧J |
| New Terminal | ⌘` |
| Cycle Terminal | ⌘⇧` |
| Run | ⌘R |
| Clear terminal (while focused) | ⌘K |
| Select all (while focused) | ⌘A |
| New line in a terminal (while focused) | ⇧Enter |
⌘J and ⌘⇧J are two different verbs, not one toggle: ⌘J puts your cursor in the terminal, showing it if needed (the way ⌘I does for the composer), while ⌘⇧J shows and hides it. ⌘R presses the header’s Run button: the project’s run command starts in the workspace’s run terminal, which comes to the front. It does nothing until the project has a run command.
Settings and help
| Action | Shortcut |
|---|---|
| Settings | ⌘, |
| Keyboard Shortcuts | ⌘/ |
| Send Feedback | ⌘⌥F |
Esc also closes Settings, the file search, the New Workspace dialog, and the feedback dialog (which takes screenshots: paste or drop up to three images into it). The New Workspace page is a view of its own: leave it by picking a workspace or a view in the sidebar.
Shortcuts are matched before the page sees the key, so they work the same with your cursor in the composer, a file in the editor, or a terminal — ⌘B toggles the sidebar rather than bolding text, and holding a key fires it once.
