Keyboard Shortcuts

AtomGit provides a set of global keyboard shortcuts so you can quickly perform searches, navigate pages, and carry out daily development tasks without ever taking your hands off the keyboard.

• View Shortcuts: Press ? (i.e., Shift + /) anywhere on the page to open the shortcut list.
• Open Command Palette: Press Ctrl + K (Cmd + K on macOS), type keywords to search and directly execute available actions on the current page.

Key Instructions: Lowercase letters in the tables (e.g., t, c) are pressed directly without Shift. Shortcuts starting with g (stands for Go, as in Go to) require sequential pressing: press g, release it, and then press the second letter within 1.5 seconds.

Issue & Pull Request

Some shortcuts automatically adapt to different actions on the list page vs. the detail page (used for filtering on lists, and setting attributes on details):

Shortcut	List Page Function	Detail Page Function (requires edit/comment permissions)
c	Create new Issue or Pull Request	-
Ctrl + / / Cmd + /	Focus list filter box	-
u	Filter by author	-
a	Filter by assignee	Set assignee
l	Filter by label	Set labels
m	Filter by milestone	Set milestone
x	-	Link Issue or Pull Request
q	-	Set reviewers (Pull Request detail page only)
r	-	Quoted reply (requires selecting discussion text with the mouse first, then press r)

Command Palette

When you can't remember a shortcut, press Ctrl + K (Cmd + K on macOS) anytime to open the Command Palette:

• Quick Search: Directly type feature names (e.g., "Switch Branch") or corresponding keys to filter commands.
• Keyboard-Only Operation: Use ↑ ↓ to navigate and press Enter to execute.

Disable Single-Letter Shortcuts (Accidental Trigger Prevention)

Shortcuts like s, c, g i that don't require Ctrl/Cmd modifiers (collectively referred to as character shortcuts) are enabled by default. To prevent accidental triggers while typing, the system will automatically pause these shortcuts in the following scenarios:

• When the cursor is inside an input field, comment box, or online code editor;
• When using a Chinese IME for spelling/text selection.

How to manually disable completely?

If you prefer to keep them disabled, press ? to open the shortcut list and uncheck the top toggle "Enable Character Shortcuts" (settings are automatically saved in your current browser).

• After Disabling: All single-letter/symbol shortcuts (including ?) will no longer respond; however, modifier-key shortcuts like Ctrl + K / Cmd + K (Command Palette) and Ctrl + / / Cmd + / (Focus Filter Box) remain functional.
• How to Re-enable: Since pressing ? won't work after disabling, press Ctrl + K / Cmd + K to open the Command Palette, search for and execute "Open Shortcut List", and re-check the toggle at the top of the popup.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why do g i, b in the repo, or a on the detail page not respond?

Shortcuts only activate when the corresponding feature exists on the current page and your account has the necessary permissions. For example:

• If the repository hasn't enabled the Issues module, g i won't respond;
• Pressing b in the folder list (rather than within a specific code file) won't open the Blame view;
• Without edit permissions for the repository, pressing a, l, m on an Issue detail page won't expand the right-side settings panel.

2. Why doesn't pressing another letter after g trigger navigation?

Combination keys starting with g require the second key to be pressed within 1.5 seconds of releasing g. If timed out, it will automatically cancel; simply press g again.
