Shortcuts

Keyboard shortcuts let you work in Xedant Agent faster, without taking your hands off the keyboard. Here is a reference of the main quick actions — use them to speed up your everyday work.


General

  • Stop button in the header — stop the AI from processing the current request.

Typing messages

  • Enter — send the message. Shift+Enter — add a line break without sending. If you are used to a different way, open Settings (the Chat section) and turn on “Double Enter to Send”: the first Enter then adds a new line, and the second one sends.
  • Shift+Enter — add a line break without sending the message.
  • / — pick a skill right in the message: type / followed by the skill name as the first line of your first message, and the chat starts with that skill.
  • Ctrl+Enter (or Cmd+Enter) — send the message. Handy in inputs where a plain Enter only adds a new line.
  • Ctrl+click (or Cmd+click) the New Chat button in the header — create a new chat that keeps the current chat’s skill and model, and open it in a new tab.

Chat list

  • Enter or Space — open the selected chat.
  • Ctrl+click (or Cmd+click) — open the chat in a new tab.

File tree

  • Up / Down arrows — move between files and folders.
  • Left arrow — go to the parent folder.
  • Right arrow — enter a folder.
  • Enter — open the selected file, or expand/collapse a folder.
  • Delete — delete the selected file or folder (with a confirmation).
  • + (plus) — expand the selected folder.
  • − (minus) — collapse the selected folder.
  • F2 — rename the selected file or folder.
  • Ctrl+S — save the current file by hand (autosave is on too).

For more about file operations, see the Files section.

  • Enter — quick commit (when the cursor is in the commit message field).

For more about skills, see the Skills section.


Message queue

If you send the next message while the agent is still answering, it is not lost: it waits in a queue and goes out automatically as soon as the current reply finishes. You can edit, pause, or remove queued messages with the buttons next to the queue.
