Keyboard Shortcuts

VirtuProbe Studio is built to be driven entirely from the keyboard. The bindings follow the IntelliJ model, so if you live in a JetBrains IDE the muscle memory carries over. On macOS, replace Ctrl with ⌘ and Shift with ⇧.

Function keys jump to the main “places” and focus the editor zones.

ShortcutAction
F1Open Dashboard
F2Open Project Dashboard
F3Focus the Project Explorer
F4Focus the active editor / tabs
F5Toggle the AI assistant panel
F7Open Library
F8Open Proxy
F9Open Agent Activity
Alt+1Focus the Project Explorer
Alt+F1Reveal the current item in the Project Explorer
Alt+PSwitch the active project
Alt+ESwitch the active environment

Probes, chains, scripts, suites, and skills open as editor tabs. Move between them without the mouse.

ShortcutAction
Ctrl+TabSwitch to the tab you were last in. Hold Ctrl and press again to keep going back
Ctrl+Shift+TabThe same walk, forwards
Alt+RightNext tab, in the order the strip shows them
Alt+LeftPrevious tab, in the order the strip shows them
Ctrl+F4Close the active tab (prompts if unsaved)

With the tree focused (F3 or Alt+1), the arrow keys move and expand, and:

ShortcutAction
EnterOpen the selected item
Shift+F6Rename the selected bundle or probe
DeleteDelete the selected item

Chains, scripts, suites and skills are renamed in their own editor: open one, edit the name field and save with Ctrl+S.

ShortcutAction
Ctrl+Shift+AFind Action: search and run any command
Ctrl+Shift+NGo to item by name, starting with probes. The category chips switch to chains, scripts and the rest
Ctrl+ERecent items: what you opened this session, including things you have since closed
Ctrl+Shift+FGlobal search

Action shortcuts are context-sensitive. They operate on whichever editor is currently active.

ShortcutActionAvailable in

Ctrl+NNew probe: choose the protocol from the listEverywhere

Ctrl+Shift+DeleteDelete current itemProbes, chains, scripts, suites, skills

Action shortcuts respect the current state: if the target action is disabled (for example, no probe is selected when pressing Ctrl+S), the shortcut is silently ignored.
