Navigation & Search
Fabriqa provides a layered navigation system: the command palette for everything, the quick switcher for chat-to-chat jumps, file search for workspace files, and slash commands to open panels directly from the composer.
Command Palette
Cmd+Shift+P (macOS) / Ctrl+Shift+P (Windows / Linux)
The command palette gives you access to every registered command in Fabriqa. Type to filter by name or description, then press Enter to run.
Commands are grouped by category:
| Category | Examples |
|---|
| Navigation | Open Workspace, Command Palette |
| Chat | New Chat, Quick Switch Chat, Run Last Action |
| Settings | Open Settings, Select Theme, Open Diagnostics |
| Workspace | Open Terminal, Show Git Changes, Open Audit Tab |
| Agent | Agent-related commands |
Quick Switch Chat
Cmd+K (macOS) / Ctrl+K (Windows / Linux)
Opens a fast chat switcher that searches across all chats in the current workspace. Type to filter by chat name, then press Enter to jump.
Use this when you have many open chat tabs and want to navigate without clicking.
File Search
Cmd+P (macOS) / Ctrl+P (Windows / Linux)
Search for files in the current workspace and open them in the file viewer. Useful for quickly locating a source file to reference in a chat or to inspect.
Slash Commands
Slash commands are typed directly in the chat composer and execute immediately on Enter. They provide instant access to panels and settings without leaving the keyboard.
| Command | Action |
|---|
/help | Show keyboard shortcuts and available commands |
/settings | Open application settings |
/models | Open model selector |
/themes | Open theme selector |
/terminal | Open or focus the terminal panel |
/git | Show or focus the git changes panel |
/timeline | Show conversation timeline with tool calls |
/acp | Show ACP process debug panel |
/audit | Open Workspace Settings → Audit Log tab |
/workspace-settings | Open workspace settings dashboard |
/workflow-designer | Open the workflow designer |
/diagnostics | Open the diagnostics dashboard |

/cancel | Stop the current AI response |
/render-document | Switch all chat windows to document view |
/render-terminal | Switch all chat windows to terminal output view |
/cycle-view | Cycle between Document, Terminal Full, and Terminal Summary views |
You can also open the shortcut help overlay by pressing ? from anywhere except while editing multiline message text.
Tab Navigation
Fabriqa supports multiple chat tabs per workspace. Switch between them without the mouse:
| Action | macOS | Windows / Linux |
|---|
| Switch to tab 1–9 | Cmd+1 – Cmd+9 | Ctrl+1 – Ctrl+9 |
| Close active tab | Cmd+W | Ctrl+W |
| New chat tab | Cmd+N | Ctrl+N |
| New chat in worktree | Cmd+Shift+N | Ctrl+Shift+N |
Cmd+9 always jumps to the last tab regardless of total tab count.
Breadcrumb Navigation
The header bar shows a Workspace → Session breadcrumb. Click the workspace segment to open the workspace picker, or the session segment to see session details. This gives you context about which folder and session are currently active.
Settings Access
Open settings directly with Cmd+, (macOS) / Ctrl+, (Windows / Linux) — the same shortcut used in most desktop editors.
