  "presets": [
    {
      "key": "Ctrl+1",
      "name": "Run Tests",
      "command": "bun test"
    },
    {
      "key": "Ctrl+2",

Customizing Shortcuts

2

Find the Action

Search or browse for the action you want to customize.
3

Click on the current shortcut and press your desired key combination.

​
Keyboard Shortcut Principles

Superset’s shortcuts follow these principles:

Modifier Consistency

  • ⌘ for primary actions (New, Open, Close)
  • ⌘⇧ for variations (Quick New, Advanced Open)
  • ⌘⌥ for navigation (Previous/Next)
  • Ctrl for presets and terminal-specific actions

Familiar Patterns

Common shortcuts match standard macOS conventions:
  • ⌘N = New
  • ⌘O = Open
  • ⌘W = Close
  • ⌘Q = Quit

Conflict Avoidance

Superset avoids shortcuts that conflict with:
  • System shortcuts
  • Terminal emulator shortcuts
  • Common text editing shortcuts

​
Terminal-Specific Shortcuts

These shortcuts work within the terminal and follow standard terminal conventions:
ShortcutAction
Ctrl+CInterrupt current process
Ctrl+DSend EOF / exit shell
Ctrl+ZSuspend current process
Ctrl+LClear screen (alternative to ⌘K)
Ctrl+AMove cursor to start of line
Ctrl+EMove cursor to end of line
Ctrl+UDelete from cursor to start of line
Ctrl+KDelete from cursor to end of line
Ctrl+WDelete word before cursor
Ctrl+RReverse search command history
↑/↓Navigate command history
TabAutocomplete

​
Split Pane Navigation

When using split terminals (⌘D or ⌘⇧D):
ShortcutAction
⌘[Focus previous pane
⌘]Focus next pane
⌘⌥←Resize pane left
⌘⌥→Resize pane right
⌘⌥↑Resize pane up
⌘⌥↓Resize pane down
⌘WClose focused pane
