Keyboard Shortcuts

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

macOS
Windows

The primary modifier is ⌘ (Cmd). ⇧ is Shift, ⌥ is Option.

The primary modifier is Ctrl. Shift is the only menu-bar modifier besides it; the row menus also use Alt.

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

Action	Shortcut
Settings…	`Ctrl ,`
Exit (closes Probe)	`Alt F4`

Alt F4 closes the window as in any Windows app and, like File → Exit, first asks about unsaved tabs; there is no Ctrl Q or Ctrl W.

File

macOS
Windows

Action	Shortcut
Save Session…	`⌘ S`
Import…	`⌘ O`

Action	Shortcut
Save Session…	`Ctrl S`
Import…	`Ctrl O`

File → Save Session… (⌘ S on macOS) saves what's in front, on macOS and Windows alike: in a Composer tab it saves the request (there the item reads Save Request…), in a session tab with unsaved traffic it opens the Save Session dialog, and in a saved session tab, or the Ignored, Files, flow, WebSocket or History tab, it does nothing.

View — tabs and panels

macOS
Windows

Action	Shortcut
Toggle sidebar	`⌘ \`
New Session	`⌘ T`

Previous Session	`⇧ ⌘ ←`
Watched Domains…	`⇧ ⌘ D`
Open Connection… (Files)	`⇧ ⌘ K`
Manage Environments…	`⇧ ⌘ E`
Throttle Rules…	`⇧ ⌘ T`
Toggle Probe Console	`⇧ ⌘ C`
Super Search / Command Palette…	`⌘ F`

Tools

Breakpoints…	`⇧ ⌘ B`
Scripting…	`⇧ ⌘ S`
Map Local…	`⇧ ⌘ M`
Map Remote…	`⇧ ⌘ R`

Log table

Action	macOS	Windows
Select all rows	`⌘ A`	`Ctrl A`

The row's right-click menu shows keys next to Compose (⌘ E), Copy URL (⌘ C), Copy as cURL (⌥ ⌘ C), Add to Favorites (⌘ D), Save to Collection (⌥ ⌘ S) and Ignore (⌘ I), with Ctrl for ⌘ and Alt for ⌥ on Windows. These are labels only for now: pick the action from the menu. They stay clear of the menu bar's keys, which win: ⌘ F opens Super Search, ⌘ S saves the session and ⇧ ⌘ C toggles the Probe Console on macOS.

Composer

These fire while the Compose editor has focus.

macOS
Windows

Action	Shortcut
Send request	`⌘ Enter`
Save request	`⌘ S`

Action	Shortcut
Save request	`Ctrl S`

Ctrl S is File → Save Request… (the File menu's Save item while a Composer tab is in front), which saves that request (Save to Collection for a new request). Sending has no Windows shortcut yet: use the Send button next to the URL.

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.

Dialogs / child windows

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

Action	macOS	Windows
Close window	`⌘ W`	`Alt F4`
Cancel inline edit	`Esc`	`Esc`
