Orbit builds its shortcut list from the controls available on the page. Global shortcuts are always registered. Project and component shortcuts appear only while the relevant interface is open.

​
Available shortcuts

On a project page, these shortcuts are also registered: Some menus add their own shortcut while mounted. For example, Alt + S opens a selection menu when that component is available. Open shortcut help to see the exact live list for your current page.
Ctrl+K is currently wired to the same help modal as ? and /, rather than a separate command palette — if you’re expecting a distinct “jump to anything” command palette bound to Ctrl+K, that doesn’t exist yet; it just opens the shortcuts list.
Shortcuts use Ctrl and Alt literally, on every platform — there is currently no Cmd-based equivalent on macOS. Pressing Cmd+K on a Mac does not trigger anything; you need the physical Ctrl key.

​
The shortcuts help modal

Press ? or / anywhere to open a searchable list of the shortcuts currently registered, grouped by category, with each key combination shown as a keycap-style badge. Use ↑/↓ to move through the list, Enter to run the highlighted shortcut, and Esc to close it.

​
When shortcuts don’t fire

Shortcuts are suppressed while your focus is inside a text input, a text area, or any editable content area — so typing p while writing an issue description won’t send you to the Projects page. Esc is the one exception: it always fires, even while you’re typing.
