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 ⇧.
Navigation
Section titled “Navigation”Function keys jump to the main “places” and focus the editor zones.
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
| F1 | Open Dashboard |
| F2 | Open Project Dashboard |
| F3 | Focus the Project Explorer |
| F4 | Focus the active editor / tabs |
| F5 | Toggle the AI assistant panel |
| F7 | Open Library |
| F8 | Open Proxy |
| F9 | Open Agent Activity |
| Alt+1 | Focus the Project Explorer |
| Alt+F1 | Reveal the current item in the Project Explorer |
| Alt+P | Switch the active project |
| Alt+E | Switch the active environment |
Probes, chains, scripts, suites, and skills open as editor tabs. Move between them without the mouse.
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
| Ctrl+Tab | Switch to the tab you were last in. Hold Ctrl and press again to keep going back |
| Ctrl+Shift+Tab | The same walk, forwards |
| Alt+Right | Next tab, in the order the strip shows them |
| Alt+Left | Previous tab, in the order the strip shows them |
| Ctrl+F4 | Close the active tab (prompts if unsaved) |
In the Project Explorer
Section titled “In the Project Explorer”With the tree focused (F3 or Alt+1), the arrow keys move and expand, and:
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
| Enter | Open the selected item |
| Shift+F6 | Rename the selected bundle or probe |
| Delete | Delete 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.
Find & go to
Section titled “Find & go to”| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
| Ctrl+Shift+A | Find Action: search and run any command |
| Ctrl+Shift+N | Go to item by name, starting with probes. The category chips switch to chains, scripts and the rest |
| Ctrl+E | Recent items: what you opened this session, including things you have since closed |
| Ctrl+Shift+F | Global search |
Actions
Section titled “Actions”Action shortcuts are context-sensitive. They operate on whichever editor is currently active.
| Shortcut | Action | Available in |
|---|---|---|
| Alt+Insert | New: choose what to create from the list | Everywhere |
| Ctrl+N | New probe: choose the protocol from the list | Everywhere |
| Ctrl+S | Save current item | Probes, chains, scripts, suites, skills |
| Ctrl+Enter | Send request / Run / Start proxy | Probes, chains, scripts, suites, skills, Proxy |
| Ctrl+Shift+Delete | Delete current item | Probes, chains, scripts, suites, skills |
| Ctrl+L | Clear the AI conversation | AI assistant (when open) |
| F12 | Toggle DevTools | Everywhere (desktop only) |
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.
