Keyboard shortcuts

Changing shortcuts

Most shortcuts are settings named keys.*, so you can change them like any other setting. Ask an agent (“make ⌘T open Claude at the project root”), or set one yourself:

midna settings set keys.next_needs_you cmd-u

Keys are written like cmd-shift-t, with modifiers cmd, shift, alt and ctrl. Changes apply right away. Settings › Keybindings lists the current ones.
