Keyboard

Shortcuts

Everyone learns Esc. These are the rest — all checked against Claude Code itself, not copied off a blog.

The three to learn first

If you remember nothing else.

  • Esc Esc
    Stop Claude mid-action The moment Claude starts doing something you did not intend.
  • Esc thenEsc Esc thenEsc
    Clear the input box Your half-written prompt has turned into a mess and you want a clean line.
  • Shift +Tab Shift +Tab
    Cycle permission mode Starting an exploration (plan) or letting an agreed plan run (accept edits). On older Windows setups without VT mode, this is Meta+M instead.

Writing the prompt

Composing, searching, pasting.

  • Ctrl +J Ctrl +J
    Start a new line without sending Any prompt longer than one sentence.
  • Ctrl +R Ctrl +R
    Search your prompt history "What did I type last week that worked?" Inside the search, Ctrl+S cycles the scope: this session → this project → everywhere.
  • Ctrl +S Ctrl +S
    Park the half-written prompt You are three sentences into a prompt and need to go check something.
  • Ctrl +G Ctrl +G
    Edit the prompt in your real editor Writing anything long or carefully structured.
  • Ctrl +V Alt +V
    Paste an image Anything visual. Annotate the screenshot first and it works even better. Ctrl+V, not Cmd+V — macOS keeps Cmd+V for its own paste. Windows and WSL use Alt+V. On WSL both Ctrl+V and Alt+V work.
  • Option +T Alt +T
    Toggle thinking for the next turn One hard question in the middle of otherwise simple work.
  • Ctrl +_ Ctrl +_
    Undo in the input box You deleted half a prompt by accident.

Seeing what happened

What Claude did and what it plans to do.

  • Ctrl +O Ctrl +O
    Toggle the full transcript You want to know what it actually did, not the summary.
  • Ctrl +T Ctrl +T
    Toggle the task checklist Any multi-step task, before it gets far.

Running the session

Long jobs, models, the terminal.

  • Ctrl +B Ctrl +B
    Send the running job to the background A long build, test run, or search you do not want to sit and watch.
  • Option +P Alt +P
    Switch model Between tasks — rarely a good idea mid-task.
  • Option +O Alt +O
    Toggle fast mode Straightforward work where you would rather have speed than depth.
  • Ctrl +Z Ctrl +Z
    Step out to the shell without quitting You need the terminal for one command and do not want to lose the session. Terminal-level shortcut (Unix SIGTSTP), not a Claude Code binding. Windows has no direct equivalent.

The keys are the same on both systems — only the modifier's name changes (macOS calls Alt Option). Run /keybindings in any session to see exactly what is bound on your machine.

deploy — deploy to NBG Azure

Slash command /deploy

deploy to NBG Azure

Automates end-to-end of NBG Azure-hosted web applications via the Azure Management Portal REST — first-deploy (provision), auth-setup (identity team credentials + proxy + Kafka), and redeploy (rebuild + push).

advanced ⏱ ~45 min per deploy; ~half a day for a first-deploy

deploy handles the full lifecycle for NBG Azure-hosted apps. Three modes:

  • first-deploy — provision a new app + Azure resources from scratch
  • auth-setup — wire identity-team credentials, proxy authentication, Kafka audit configuration
  • redeploy — rebuild, push, and update existing components

Also covers environment-variable management, health checks, and error troubleshooting. Talks to the Azure Management Portal REST behind the scenes so you don’t have to click through the portal.

Triggers: “deploy”, “redeploy”, “first deploy”, “push to Azure”, “configure proxy”, “check deployment status”, “fix deployment errors”.

diagram-design — real diagrams, not boxes with drop shadows

Roughly forty diagram types — flowcharts, swimlanes, org charts, Gantt, sequence, ER, Sankey, Wardley maps — produced as self-contained HTML with inline SVG. It can also learn your brand colours once and apply them to everything it draws afterwards.
