All of Notchly’s features are accessible via keyboard. Because the panel is a floating, non-activating window anchored to the MacBook notch, a handful of shortcuts work system-wide — even when another app is in the foreground. This page lists every shortcut organized by category.
The backtick (`) hotkey is global — it fires even when Notchly is not the active application, letting you summon or dismiss the panel without switching focus. All other shortcuts listed here are local to the Notchly panel and only fire when the panel is focused.
Panel control
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|
` (backtick) | Toggle panel open / close |
NSEvent monitor on key code 50, with no modifier flags required. It works from any application and in any input context, as long as another app hasn’t already claimed the same combination.
Tabs
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|
Cmd T | Open a new terminal tab |
Cmd W | Close the active tab (shows a confirmation dialog if the tab is busy or waiting for input; idle tabs close immediately) |
Cmd 1 – Cmd 9 | Jump directly to the nth tab |
Cmd Shift ← | Move the active tab one position to the left |
Cmd Shift → | Move the active tab one position to the right |
Split panes
Each tab can be split into a binary tree of terminal panes. Splits are created relative to the currently focused pane.
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|
Cmd D | Split the focused pane vertically (new pane opens to the right) |
Cmd Shift D | Split the focused pane horizontally (new pane opens below) |
Cmd ] | Move focus to the next pane |
Cmd [ | Move focus to the previous pane |
Cmd Shift W | Close the focused pane |
Closing a focused pane with Cmd Shift W is immediate and does not prompt for confirmation, regardless of whether the pane is busy. Use Cmd W (close tab) if you want the busy-tab confirmation guard.
Git & sessions
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|
Cmd S | Save a git checkpoint for the active session’s project |
refs/Notchy-snapshots/<project>/<timestamp> and do not disturb your working tree or staging area. You can save multiple checkpoints and restore any of them from the tab context menu.
Terminal tools
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|
Cmd F | Open the terminal search bar to search output in the active pane |
Cmd P | Open the command palette with per-directory command history and fuzzy search |
Font size
Font size adjustments apply immediately to all open terminal panes.
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|
Cmd = | Increase font size |
Cmd - | Decrease font size |
Cmd 0 | Reset font size to the app default |
