Orbit registers a small set of global keyboard shortcuts, available anywhere in the app.

Available shortcuts

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 every shortcut, grouped by category, with each key combo shown as a keycap-style badge. Use / to move through the list, 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.
