Keyboard Shortcuts
Every keyboard shortcut in Cerevisor, with context, modifier behavior, and the Escape stack.
Cerevisor's keyboard shortcuts are context-aware. A shortcut may do different things depending on which view you're in (canvas, workshop, memory) and whether a text field has focus. The tables below note context where it matters. Throughout these docs, Ctrl means ⌘ Cmd on macOS. The app handles this for you; both modifiers work on Mac. File and workflow Shortcut Context Action Ctrl+N Anywhere except text fields New workflow. Prompts to save if the current one has unsaved changes. Ctrl+O Anywhere except text fields Open file dialog. Loads .cerevisor , .cerevisor-world , or .opaal files. Ctrl+S Anywhere — even inside text fields Save the current workflow (or skill, if you're in the Workshop). Ctrl+Shift+S Anywhere Save As — forces the file picker, lets you write to a new path. Ctrl+E Canvas Export the generated prompt to a .md file (the "Launch in Claude Code" path). Edit Shortcut Context Action Ctrl+Z Canvas or editor Undo the last action. Cerevisor keeps 50 levels of undo per workflow. Ctrl+Shift+Z Canvas or editor Redo. Ctrl+A Canvas Select all agents. Ctrl+C Canvas, no active text selection Copy selected agents to clipboard. Ctrl+V Canvas, no active text selection Paste agents at the canvas centroid. Ctrl+D Canvas Duplicate selected agents in place. Delete / Backspace Canvas, no active text selection Delete selected agents and connections.

Control groups Control groups let you save a multi-agent selection to a numbered slot and recall it instantly, like RTS unit groups. Shortcut Action Ctrl+1 through Ctrl+9 Save the current selection to slot 1–9. Ctrl+Shift+1 through Ctrl+Shift+9 Recall the agents in slot 1–9 (replaces current selection). Slot indicators appear in the status bar with a count of how many agents are in each. Hover a badge to see the slot's contents. Placement (quick-add agents) These shortcuts enter placement mode for the corresponding agent role. After pressing, your cursor becomes the agent's ghost, click anywhere on the canvas to place it. Shortcut Adds 1 The first agent role in the visible palette order. 2 Second. 3 Third. … … 9 Ninth. 0 Tenth. The role for each number depends on your current Agent Palette ordering. You can reorder via Settings → Agents → Reorder. Press Escape during placement to cancel without dropping anything. Right-click also cancels. Multi-workflow (World View) Shortcut Action Alt+1 through Alt+9 Fly the camera to the N-th workflow in the rail and activate it. Ctrl+Shift
