A running list of the keybindings I actually reach for when I’m driving Claude Code day to day. Most of these became muscle memory without me noticing; writing them down is mostly an exercise in paying attention.
Esc— interrupt the current response. The one I use most.Shift+Tab— cycle through plan / auto-accept / default modes without leaving the keyboard.Ctrl+R— expand the last tool call’s output when I want to see what actually ran.Up arrow— scroll back through recent prompts to tweak and resend.Ctrl+L— clear the visible transcript when the scrollback gets noisy.Cmd+K— fuzzy-open a file from the project into the conversation context.Ctrl+Ctwice — bail out of the session when something is truly wedged.
I’ll add to this as I notice new ones sneaking into my flow.
