Keyboard shortcuts¶

Loom is keyboard-first. Every shortcut below is wired in Loom/App/LoomApp.swift via the standard macOS Commands API, so they show up in the menu bar too.

Workspaces¶

Shortcut	Action
⌘N	New workspace (focuses the sidebar's name field)
⌘K	Open command palette
⌘⇧O	Switch to previous workspace

Adding panes¶

The number maps to the panel order for the current workspace kind. In a Prompt workspace the order is Terminal, Editor, Tasks, Agent — so ⌘⇧1 adds a terminal, ⌘⇧4 adds an agent. In an Ideas workspace ⌘⇧1 adds Notes, ⌘⇧2 adds Agent.

Shortcut	Action
⌘⇧1	Add the first pane available for this kind
⌘⇧2	Add the second
⌘⇧3	Add the third
⌘⇧4	Add the fourth

Layout¶

These act on the focused pane. Click into a pane to focus it.

Shortcut	Action
⌘⌥←	Pin focused pane to the left edge
⌘⌥→	Pin focused pane to the right edge
⌘⌥↑	Pin focused pane to the top
⌘⌥↓	Pin focused pane to the bottom
⌘⌥F	Toggle full row span
⌘⌥U	Unpin

Build & run (Xcode)¶

When you're hacking on Loom itself in Xcode:

Shortcut	Action
⌘R	Build & run
⌘⇧K	Clean build folder
⌘B	Build only
