Keybindings cheat sheet

The TUI's footer always shows the bindings for the current view — there's no separate help screen. This page is the grep-friendly version of that footer, expanded across every tab and overlay.

Globals

These work from any tab. Inside an overlay, q and digits still quit / switch tabs (the overlay closes on the way out); esc is overlay-routed so it closes the overlay first.

Key	Action
1 – 4	Switch to tab N (Board, Features, Docs, History). Digits beyond the tab count fall through to the active view.
q	Quit. Always.
ctrl-c	Quit. Always.
esc	Close the active overlay; quit if no overlay is open.

Note

tab / shift-tab are not global — views use them to cycle their own inner panes (e.g. description ↔ comments ↔ attachments inside the card overlay).

Board tab

Key	Action
h / l (or left / right)	Move between columns.
j / k (or down / up)	Move between cards in the focused column.
g / home	Jump to the first card.
G / end	Jump to the last card.
enter	Open the focused card's detail overlay.
c	Open the column-visibility picker.
f	Open the feature filter picker.
H	Hide the focused column (refuses if it's the last visible one).
d	Toggle the inline detail pane.
r	Reload from the database.
q	Quit.

Card overlay (open with enter on a card)

Cycles through three inner panes — description, comments, attachments — via tab / shift+tab. Bindings depend on which pane is focused.

Key	Action
tab / shift+tab	Next / previous pane (description ↔ comments ↔ attachments).
j / k (or down / up)	Scroll within the active pane (or move selection on the attachments pane).
g / home	Jump to top.
G / end	Jump to bottom.
pgdown / space	Scroll down 10 lines (description / comments).
pgup	Scroll up 10 lines (description / comments).
enter (description)	Close the overlay.
enter (comments)	Open all comments full-screen.
enter (attachments)	Open the focused attachment (a document jumps to the Docs tab; PR URLs print).
esc	Close the card overlay.

Comment overlay (full-screen comments view)

Key	Action
j / k (or down / up)	Scroll.
pgdown / space	Scroll down 10 lines.
pgup	Scroll up 10 lines.
g / home	Top.
G / end	Bottom.
esc	Back to the card overlay.

Column picker (open with c)

Key	Action
j / k	Move selection.
space	Toggle the focused column (refuses to hide the last visible one).
a	Show all columns.
n	Minimal — keep only the first state column visible (matches the in-app footer's n minimal).
esc	Close the picker.

Feature picker (open with f)

Key	Action
j / k	Move selection.
space	Toggle the focused feature.
a	Show all features.
n	Isolate — hide every feature except the focused one.
esc	Close the picker.

Features tab

Key	Action
j / k (or down / up)	Move between features.
g / home	First feature.
G / end	Last feature.
enter	Open the focused feature's overlay.
r	Reload.
q	Quit.

Feature overlay

Key	Action
j / k (or down / up)	Scroll.
pgdown / space	Scroll down 10 lines.
pgup	Scroll up 10 lines.
g / home	Top.
G / end	Bottom.
esc / enter	Close.

Docs tab

Key	Action
j / k (or down / up)	Move between documents.
enter	Open the focused document in the full-screen reader.
r	Reload.
q	Quit.

Doc overlay

Key	Action
j / k (or down / up)	Scroll.
pgdown / space	Scroll down 10 lines.
pgup	Scroll up 10 lines.
g / home	Top.
G / end	Bottom.
esc / enter	Close.

Cross-tab note: when a card's Linked documents attachment is opened (via enter on the attachments pane), the TUI jumps to the Docs tab with that file selected and remembers the original tab so esc returns you there.

History tab

Key	Action
j / k (or down / up)	Scroll.
pgdown / space	Scroll down 10 lines.
pgup	Scroll up 10 lines.
g / home	Top.
G / end	Bottom.
r	Reload.
q	Quit.

Source of truth

These bindings are pulled from the Help() methods on each view in internal/tui/ of the upstream repo. If the footer disagrees with this page, the footer wins — and that's a bug to file.
