Keyboard Shortcuts

Probe is built around a small, memorable shortcut set. Most actions are reachable from the menu bar; the shortcuts here mirror what you see there. Where macOS uses Cmd, Windows uses Ctrl.

The primary modifier is (Cmd). is Shift, is Option.

| Action | Shortcut | |--------|---------| | Settings… | ⌘ , | | Quit Probe | ⌘ Q | | Close window | ⌘ W | | Minimize | ⌘ M | | Toggle full screen | ⌃ ⌘ F |

| Action | Shortcut | |--------|---------| | Save (active tab) | ⌘ S | | Import… | ⌘ O |

Save is dispatcher-aware: in a Compose tab it saves the request, in a recording session tab it opens the Save Session dialog, in a saved or device tab it's a no-op.

| Action | Shortcut | |--------|---------| | New tab | ⌘ T | | Next tab | ⇧ ⌘ → | | Previous tab | ⇧ ⌘ ← | | Watched Domains… | ⇧ ⌘ D | | Manage Environments… | ⇧ ⌘ E | | Throttle Rules… | ⇧ ⌘ T | | Toggle Probe Console | ⇧ ⌘ C | | Super Search / Command Palette… | ⌘ F |

| Action | Shortcut | |--------|---------| | New Compose request… | ⇧ ⌘ N | | Breakpoints… | ⇧ ⌘ B | | Scripting… | ⇧ ⌘ S | | Map Local… | ⇧ ⌘ M | | Map Remote… | ⇧ ⌘ R | | Upstream Proxy… | ⇧ ⌘ U |

These fire on the currently selected entry in the log table. The same shortcut that adds also removes (toggles).

| Action | Shortcut | |--------|---------| | Copy URL | ⌘ C | | Copy as cURL | ⇧ ⌘ C | | Open in Composer | ⌘ E | | Toggle favorite | ⌘ F | | Save to filtered list | ⌘ S | | Toggle ignore | ⌘ I |

These fire while the Compose editor has focus.

| Action | Shortcut | |--------|---------| | Send request | ⌘ Enter | | Save request | ⌘ S |

While typing inside the URL or body, the {{ trigger opens the variable autocomplete. Inside the popup:

| Key | Action | |-----|--------| | / | Move selection. | | Enter or Tab | Insert the highlighted variable. | | Esc | Dismiss without inserting. |

Most child windows (Watched Domains, Throttle, Scripting, Environments, Map Local, Map Remote) use the standard window shortcuts:

| Action | macOS | Windows | |--------|-------|---------| | Close window | ⌘ W | Ctrl W | | Cancel inline edit | Esc | Esc |
