Keyboard shortcuts

Last updated 9 October 2026

Three shortcuts work from any app, and you can change them. Everything else works while ThatPrompt is open. Inside ThatPrompt, Cmd and Ctrl both work on a Mac, so use whichever your fingers expect.

From any app

Action	Mac	Windows
Open or hide ThatPrompt	⌃⇧P (`control`+`shift`+`P`)	`Ctrl`+`Shift`+`P`
Save a new prompt	⌃⇧N (`control`+`shift`+`N`)	`Ctrl`+`Shift`+`N`
Enhance the selected text	⌃⇧E (`control`+`shift`+`E`)	`Ctrl`+`Shift`+`E`

These are the defaults. On a Mac they use control, not command. Change them in Settings, under Shortcuts.

In the command palette

Action	Keys
Move up and down the list	`↑` `↓`
Paste the selected prompt into your app	`Enter`
Open a folder, or All Folders	`Enter`
Preview the selected prompt	`→`
Edit the selected prompt	`Cmd`+`E`
Delete the selected prompt	`Cmd`+`Backspace`
New prompt	`Cmd`+`N`
Enhance the selected prompt	`Cmd`+`Shift`+`E`
Step out of a folder, or close	`Esc`

On Windows, use Ctrl wherever this page says Cmd.

In a prompt's preview

Action	Keys
Paste it into your app	`Enter`
Edit	`Cmd`+`E`
Delete	`Cmd`+`Backspace`
Back to the list	`←`
Close	`Esc`

Saving or editing a prompt

Action	Keys
Save	`Cmd`+`Enter`
Close without saving	`Esc`

Enhance

Action	Keys
Accept: paste the enhanced prompt into your app	`Enter`
Accept and save it to your library	`Cmd`+`Enter`
Save to your library without pasting	`Cmd`+`S`
Move between the buttons	`Tab`
Reject and close	`Esc`

Accept and save is only offered when you started Enhance from the command palette or the shortcut, not from inside the save window.

Confirming a delete

Enter deletes, Esc cancels.
