On macOS ⌘ is Command. On Windows and Linux it's Ctrl.

Shortcut	Action
⌘ ⏎	Send request
⌘ K	Command palette
⌘ N	New request
⌘ S	Save request
⌘ O	Open folder
⌘ L	Focus URL bar
⌘ E	Next environment
⌘ H	Toggle history
⌘ R	Toggle raw response
⌘ D	Toggle light / dark
⌘ F	Find in response
⌘ ⇧ C	Copy as cURL
⌘ ⇧ F	Focus mode
?	Keyboard shortcuts
Esc	Close find / cancel request / close dialog / clear filter

Press ? (when you aren't typing in a field), click Shortcuts in the status bar, or pick Keyboard shortcuts from the ⋯ menu to see this list in the app.

Notes

• ⌘ N clears the editor for a new, unsaved request. It saves the current request first if it has a file.
• ⌘ S on an unsaved request asks for a name and saves it to the selected collection (the workspace root if none is selected). See Saving.
• ⌘ K opens the command palette: type to search every request in the workspace and every command Mercury has. ↑/↓ move, ⏎ opens, Esc closes.
• ⌘ D switches between the light and dark theme. Mercury follows your system theme until you press it.
• ⌘ E steps through the environments in the picker, then None, then starts over.
• ⌘ F opens the find bar over the response body: every match is highlighted, ⏎ steps to the next one, and Esc closes it.
• ⌘ Shift F hides the sidebar. Press it again to bring the sidebar back.
• Tab moves between the controls on screen and Space or ⏎ activates the one you land on — the focus ring shows where you are. Everything Mercury can do is reachable without a mouse.
• Esc closes the find bar first, since that is what you are looking at when you press it. Otherwise it cancels a running request, and failing that clears the sidebar filter. A dialog or the palette closes before any of it.
