Every Shortcut.
Zero Mouse. Zero Mouse. Zero Mouse.

The complete NitroIDE keyboard reference — app commands, the command palette, and the Monaco editor essentials. On macOS, use Cmd wherever you see Ctrl.

NitroIDE App Shortcuts

Built into the workspace itself — these work anywhere in the editor.

`Ctrl` + `K`	Open the command palette (every IDE action, fuzzy-searchable)
`Ctrl` + `S`	Save buffers and force a hard re-compile of the preview
`Esc`	Close the command palette or any open menu
`↑` `↓` then `Enter`	Navigate the command palette and run the highlighted command

Monaco Editor Essentials

NitroIDE runs the same editor engine as VS Code, so these defaults come free.

`F1`	Editor command palette
`Ctrl` + `F`	Find in current file
`Ctrl` + `H`	Find and replace
`Ctrl` + `G`	Go to line / column
`Ctrl` + `/`	Toggle line comment
`Alt` + `↑` / `↓`	Move current line up / down
`Shift` + `Alt` + `↑` / `↓`	Copy current line up / down
`Ctrl` + `D`	Select next occurrence of current selection
`Ctrl` + `Shift` + `K`	Delete current line
`Ctrl` + `Space`	Trigger suggestion / autocomplete
`Tab` / `Shift` + `Tab`	Indent / outdent selection (Tab also expands Emmet)
`Ctrl` + `Z` / `Ctrl` + `Shift` + `Z`	Undo / redo

Multi-cursor Power Moves

Edit several places at once — the fastest way to rename, reformat, or restructure.

`Alt` + Click	Add an extra cursor wherever you click
`Ctrl` + `Alt` + `↑` / `↓`	Add a cursor on the line above / below
`Ctrl` + `D` (repeat)	Keep pressing to select the next match — then type once to change them all
`Esc`	Drop back to a single cursor

Console CLI Commands

Prefer typing? The developer console doubles as a command line.

`install` name	Inject a CDN library, e.g. `install tailwind`
`export zip`	Download the whole project as a ZIP
`format`	Format the current code
`theme` dark\|light\|toggle	Switch the workspace theme
`clear`	Clear the console history

Missing a shortcut you rely on? Open an issue and tell us — the palette-first design means most actions are one Ctrl+K away anyway.

Learn five, ignore the rest

Nobody memorizes a cheatsheet in one sitting. Learn these five and let the command palette handle everything else — they're the 20% of shortcuts behind 80% of the speed:

1	`Ctrl` + `K` — the palette. Every action lives here; type a few letters and hit Enter.
2	`Ctrl` + `S` — save and force the preview to recompile right now.
3	`Ctrl` + `D` — select the next match. Press it three times, type once, and you've renamed a variable everywhere.
4	`Ctrl` + `/` — comment or uncomment the current line while debugging.
5	`?` — outside the editor, this brings you straight back to this cheatsheet.

Practice them in the workspace for ten minutes and they'll stick — muscle memory beats memorization.
