> Customize application, navigation, pane, composer, and editor commands.

Canonical URL: https://docs.zuse.sh/reference/keybindings



Open **Settings → Keyboard shortcuts** to change shortcuts. Overrides are stored in:

```text
~/.zuse/keybindings.json
```

The command set covers:

* application actions such as new chat, open project, settings, and close tab;
* sidebar, files panel, and terminal toggles;
* next, previous, and numbered tab selection;
* chat and panel navigation;
* composer focus, submit, newline, force submit, and Plan mode;
* editor save and annotation.

## File format [#file-format]

```json
{
  "schemaVersion": 1,
  "rules": [
    { "key": "mod+shift+p", "command": "open-chat-switcher" },
    { "key": "mod+enter", "command": "composer.submit", "when": "composerFocus" }
  ]
}
```

`mod` maps to Command on macOS. Optional `when` expressions make a shortcut context-specific. Keep the list below 256 rules and use only command identifiers accepted by the public schema.
