Mod means Command on macOS and Control on Windows and Linux. Alt is Option on macOS. Shortcuts that act on a file, annotation, search result, or panel require that item to be active.
Plan review and document annotation
When the annotation label picker is open, press
1 through 0 to choose a label. Press A through Z to start a comment with the corresponding toolbar shortcut, or Alt plus 1 through 0 to start one with a label. The available labels determine which keys are active.
Vim controls
Turn on Vim controls in Settings to navigate and annotate plan, document, and raw HTML views without a mouse. Turn the same setting off to return to standard navigation. The mode is off by default. Press? while it is active to open the complete key map.
The optional Vim HUD shows a target reticle and navigation context. Enable the HUD before you enable Key panel. The Key panel setting adds a live keypress legend and command panel.
Vim controls yield to text inputs, dialogs, editors, and other focused controls. Use the regular shortcuts in those surfaces.
Comment and image editing
Code review
In the all-files diff,

Inside a code comment or suggestion editor, Mod + Enter submits, Tab indents, and Escape closes the editor. In Ask AI, Mod + Enter sends the prompt. Escape closes the inline panel.
Goal setup
Mod + Enter submits the current interview answers or accepted facts.
