Keyboard shortcuts

Every default keyboard shortcut in Bikube, for macOS and Linux.

On this page

This page lists every default keyboard shortcut in Bikube, grouped by where it works, and which ones you can change in Settings. The keys shown follow the macOS/Linux switch at the top of the page.

All shortcuts

App shortcuts work anywhere in the window, Board ones on a focused card in a workspace's board (Move up and down also on a focused workspace in the sidebar), Open card ones while a card or shell is open at full size, and Terminal ones in the focused terminal pane.

Changing a shortcut

Open Settings and pick Shortcuts. Under In Bikube, click an action's shortcut and press the new one: it needs Cmd (macOS) or Ctrl (Linux), or Alt, with a key, and Esc cancels. A combination another action or a fixed shortcut already has is refused with Already used by …, and the old one stays. Reset brings back the default.

The shortcuts marked "No" above are fixed: no action can take them.

Global shortcut

Under Global, Show or hide Bikube (from any app) has no shortcut by default. See Global shortcut.
