Keyboard reference

RED is operable almost entirely from the keyboard. Every discrete action lives in the command palette (⌘K) - the complete, searchable list, phase-aware so it only offers what's actionable - and the common ones also have the direct bindings below. Press ⌘/ in-app for the shortcut reference as an overlay.

Cross-platform bindings

Bindings show the ⌘ glyph, but the primary modifier resolves per platform - it's Cmd on macOS and Ctrl on Windows and Linux (so ⌘K is Ctrl+K off macOS). Every binding is remappable in Settings; press ⌘/ in-app for the reference overlay.

Global

Key	Action
`⌘K`	Command palette
`⌘P`	Switch connection
`⌘⇧P`	Switch to the previous connection
`⌘1`–`9`	Jump to a connection by position
`⌘L`	Toggle the AI assistant
`⌘/`	Keyboard-shortcuts overlay
`⌘,`	Settings
`⌘N`	New connection (welcome screen)
`⌘Q`	Quit

Panes

Key	Action
`⌥⌘1` / `⌥⌘2` / `⌥⌘3`	Focus schema / editor / grid
`F6` / `⇧F6`	Cycle focus forward / back
`⌘B`	Toggle the schema sidebar
`⌘Y`	Toggle the history panel
`⌘\`	Split view (two tabs side by side)
`⌥⌘\`	Focus the other split half

Query tabs

Key	Action
`⌘T`	New tab
`⌘W`	Close tab (confirms if it holds unsaved work)
`⌃Tab` / `⌃⇧Tab`	Next / previous tab
`⌘↵`	Run the active tab's query (or selection) - works from any pane
`⌘F`	Find in the query
`⇧⌘E`	Explain the query (plan)
`⇧⌘S` / `⇧⌘O`	Save query / open a saved query
`Esc`	Leave the editor for the result grid (when no completion is open)

The history popover is keyboard driven once open: ↑ / ↓ move, ↵ loads the entry, Esc closes.

Result grid

Focus the grid (⌥⌘3, or click a cell), then drive the cell cursor:

Key	Action
`↑ ↓ ← →`	Move the cell cursor
`⇧` + arrows	Extend the selection
`⌘←` / `⌘→`	Row start / end
`⌘↑` / `⌘↓`	First / last row
`PgUp` / `PgDn`	Page up / down
`⌘A`	Select all
`⌃G`	Go to row…
`⌘C`	Copy the selection (TSV)
`⌘I`	Inspect the cell / row
`⌘F`	Find in the loaded rows
`⌘⇧F`	Filter rows to a `WHERE` clause

The cursor lives in absolute row ordinals while the grid is windowed over a multi-million-row result; moving off the visible window re-centers it through the same paging machinery the scrollbar uses, so it follows without stutter.

Editing data

Edits are staged - make a batch of changes in the grid, then review and submit them together (or revert):

Key	Action
`↵` / `F2`	Edit the focused cell
`⌘↵`	Submit the staged changes
`⌥⌘Z`	Revert the staged changes
`⌘⌫`	Mark row(s) for deletion
`⌥⌘N`	Add a new row
`⌥⌘0`	Set the cell to `NULL`

Schema tree

Focus the sidebar (⌥⌘1), then:

Key	Action
`↑` / `↓`	Move the selection
`←` / `→`	Collapse / expand (or jump to parent / first child)
`↵`	Open a table/view preview, or toggle a namespace
`⌘F`	Search the schema - reveals the sidebar and focuses its filter field
`⌘R`	Refresh the schema

⌘F works from anywhere (it reveals a collapsed sidebar first); type to filter the tree live, then ↓ into the results.
