Most user-facing actions in Rumus have a keyboard shortcut. They’re all customizable from a single page: Settings → Keyboard Shortcuts.

​
How the page is organized

Shortcuts are grouped into sensible categories:
CategoryExamples
ClipboardCopy, Paste, Select All
Cursor MovementLine start / end, word left / right
EditingDelete word, delete line
ViewZoom in / out, fullscreen
ScrollingPage up / down, scroll to top / bottom
Tabs & WindowsNew tab, close tab, switch tab
SearchFind in terminal
There are roughly two dozen actions in total — every common terminal interaction has a binding you can change.

​
Rebind a shortcut

1

Open Keyboard settings

Settings → Keyboard Shortcuts.
2

Find the action

Scroll to the action you want to change, or use the search field at the top to filter.
3

Click the existing binding

The binding becomes editable. Press the new key combination on your keyboard.
4

Save

Confirm the change. The new binding takes effect immediately.

​
Conflict detection

If you bind a key combo that’s already in use by another action, Rumus tells you:
“This shortcut is already used by ''.”
You then choose to override (the previous binding loses the key) or cancel the change. There’s no silent collision — the page makes you decide.

​
Reset

Two reset paths:
  • Reset this action — restore a single binding to its shipping default.
  • Reset all to defaults — wipe every customization on the page. This one prompts for confirmation; there’s no undo.

​
What about chord shortcuts (Ctrl+K Ctrl+X style)?

Rumus’s keyboard system today supports single key combinations only — one modifier set + one key per binding. Multi-step chord bindings (the VS Code “Ctrl+K Ctrl+X” pattern) aren’t supported. If you need a complex combo that doesn’t fit a single chord, look for an existing single-chord binding nearby that you can repurpose.

​
Platform conventions

Rumus’s defaults follow each platform’s conventions:
  • macOS — ⌘ for the primary modifier (e.g. ⌘C for copy).
  • Windows / Linux — Ctrl for the primary modifier (e.g. Ctrl+C for copy).
Sync carries your bindings across devices, but the modifier semantics stay native — so ⌘C on your Mac becomes Ctrl+C on your Windows machine if you’ve kept the default.

​
Common rebindings

Some bindings people often want to change:
  • Find in terminal — many users prefer Ctrl+F / Cmd+F even though some platforms default to a different key.
  • Switch tab — Ctrl+1 … Ctrl+9 for direct tab access is a popular addition.
  • Close tab vs Close window — be careful these don’t share modifiers; closing the wrong one is a fast way to lose work.

​
What ISN’T configurable here

A few things live elsewhere:
  • AI sidebar toggle — currently the panel-right icon at the far right of the title bar (no key binding today).
  • Workspace switching — managed from the workspace switcher.
  • Smart autocomplete accept — bound on the same page (look under “Editing” or “Tabs & Windows” depending on the action label).
If a key in the app today does something but isn’t on this page, it’s a system / OS-level binding, not a Rumus one.

​
Settings sync

Custom keyboard bindings are part of config sync — set them once, propagate everywhere.

Search

The terminal-search shortcut is one of the most-rebound.
