Every shortcut Runic binds

In the process editor

⌘Z (Ctrl+Z) undoes and ⇧⌘Z (Ctrl+Shift+Z or Ctrl+Y) redoes, on Runic’s own stack of the last 15 states per document; keystrokes within 800ms coalesce into one step, while applied chat proposals and checkpoint restores always get their own. Enter opens a new line at the same indent, two spaces deeper after .then or .if, and at the end of an .if line with no .then beneath it yet, it scaffolds .then Yes and .then No. Tab indents the line or every selected line; Shift+Tab outdents. With a gray ghost suggestion showing, Tab accepts it and Esc dismisses it. Esc also closes the AI instruction bar. ⌘-click (Ctrl-click) on a .go or .do line opens that process when it exists.

With the command menu open, ↑ and ↓ move, Enter or Tab inserts, Esc dismisses. Enter on a bare . with no navigation closes the menu and opens a new line. Any Ctrl, ⌘ or Alt combination closes the menu and passes through. In the folded view, arrows, Home, End, PageUp, PageDown, ⌘C and ⌘A pass; any other key expands all folds without typing.

Floating bars and the diagram

In the extract bar’s “New process” field, Enter extracts and Esc cancels. In the AI edit bar, Enter submits and Esc closes. On the diagram, Ctrl/⌘ + scroll zooms toward the cursor; clicking the zoom percentage opens a field where Enter commits and Esc cancels; Esc leaves fullscreen; Enter or Space on a focused Go or Do card opens that process.

Chat, sidebar and dialogs

In the chat box, Enter sends and Shift+Enter inserts a newline; pasting an image attaches it for import. In the sidebar, Enter or Space on a focused row opens that document.

Esc closes the topmost overlay, one per press: fullscreen, the icon picker, “Delete document?”, the References panel, Version history, Claude & MCP, Create with AI, the Map, Connected accounts, Teams, “Delete this account?”, Upgrade to Pro, Send feedback. Create with AI and the Build wizard ignore Esc while a generation is running. Inside a dialog, Tab and Shift+Tab cycle its controls. Two dialogs take ⌘/Ctrl+Enter as their main action: Create with AI generates and Send feedback sends. The top-bar rename field and the version-name field in Version history commit on Enter and cancel on Esc.

Sequence editor

The sequence editor binds Enter for auto-indent and Tab / Shift+Tab for block indent; its command and actor menus use the same ↑ ↓ Enter Tab Esc keys. Undo and redo there are the header buttons.

How to use it

1. 1
   Undo a change

   Press ⌘Z (Ctrl+Z on Windows or Linux) with the caret in the process editor. The header arrows show whether a step is available.
2. 2
   Scaffold a decision

   Type .if Is the order paid? and press Enter at the end of the line. Two .then branches appear with the caret in the first.
3. 3
   Indent a selection

   Select several lines and press Tab; Shift+Tab reverses it.
4. 4
   Take a suggestion

   When gray text with a TAB chip appears at the end of your line, press Tab to accept or Esc to dismiss.
5. 5
   Send a chat message

   Type in the chat box and press Enter. Shift+Enter adds a line break.
6. 6
   Close whatever is open

   Press Esc. Each press closes the innermost overlay.

Tips

• Undo is per document and app-owned; the browser’s native undo is bypassed because it misbehaves in a controlled textarea.
• If Tab indents when you wanted the ghost, the ghost had already gone stale; suggestions only show at the end of the caret line.
• Esc does not close Create with AI or the Build wizard while a generation is running, so a stray key cannot orphan the request.
• In the chat, Shift+Enter is the only way to get a newline; Enter always sends.
