Keyboard shortcuts

Every shortcut in Salience, in one place. The keys worth memorising are ⌘K for the command palette, ⌘J for the console pane, and ⌘B for the sidebar — the app's only global bindings. Everything else below belongs to the surface it's listed under.

Everywhere

Key	Action
⌘K (or Ctrl+K)	Toggle the command palette
⌘J	Toggle the console pane
⌘B	Toggle the sidebar

The HUD

The HUD sits above every page; each pill opens its popover with its own key. Only one popover is open at a time.

Key	Pill
⌘S	Branch — opens the branch switcher
⌘1	Ticket
⌘2	PR
⌘3	CI
⌘4	Stack
⌘5	Cloud

Command palette (while open)

Key	Action
↑ / ↓	Move the selection
Enter	Run the highlighted command (rows ending in … drill in)
⌘[ or ⌘←	Back one level — works even with a query typed
Backspace	Back one level, when the input is empty
⌘K	Close the palette
Esc	Close everything

Branch switcher (while open)

Open it with ⌘S, or by clicking the branch in the HUD.

Key	Action
↑ / ↓	Move the highlight — the HUD shadow-previews that branch's ticket, PR and CI; nothing is checked out
Enter	Check out the highlighted branch
Esc	Close and snap back to the real branch

The Map

Key	Action
Mouse wheel	Zoom between desk and network altitude
← / →	Cycle islands (network altitude only)
Home	Snap the camera home
Esc	Close one layer per press: skips a ride, then closes the peek card or ring menu, then exits the island, then snaps home; at desk altitude, clears the newest error path, then the selection

Build

Key	Action
⌘I	Expand / collapse the ticket tile (Build page only)
Esc	Collapse the ticket tile
Enter	Commit — in the commit message field, with changes staged

Code Graph

Key	Action
⌘-click (or Ctrl-click) a node	Open the file in your editor, positioned at the first walked method

One honest footnote: the palette prints ⌃L beside Clear console, but that key isn't actually bound — use the palette entry.
