Keyboard & prompt shortcuts

Keyboard shortcuts in Open Free Max, plus reusable prompt phrases you can trigger in any project or send directly to an agent.

OFM keeps shortcuts minimal and configurable.

Default shortcuts

In the confirmation queue, items resolve in one keystroke (approve / reject / remember) and you can navigate with the arrow keys.

Reusable prompt shortcuts

If you type the same instruction often, save it as a prompt shortcut instead of rewriting it. A prompt shortcut stores a complete phrase and associates it with a short trigger. It works in the prompt of the active agent session.

Create one

1. Open Settings and choose Manage shortcuts.
2. Click the number of the shortcut you want to configure. OFM supports up to 10 entries.
3. In the large text field, write the complete instruction you want to reuse.
4. In the field below it, enter the short trigger phrase you will type to call it.
5. Check Global if the shortcut should be available in every project. Leave it unchecked to keep it available only in the current project.
6. Check Send if the expanded prompt should be submitted to the active agent immediately. Leave it unchecked if you want OFM to insert the text first so you can review or edit it.
7. Save the shortcut.

For example, the trigger go sprints can expand to an instruction such as: “Implement all remaining sprint items, do not ask for confirmation between routine steps, and leave the project in a testable state.” Keep the trigger short and the saved prompt explicit; the agent receives the expanded phrase, not the trigger itself.

Global and project shortcuts

Global shortcuts are available in every project and are useful for habits such as asking for a summary, running the test suite or preparing a handoff. A project shortcut is useful when the instruction contains a repository-specific command, architecture rule or delivery convention.

If a project shortcut and a global shortcut use the same trigger, prefer a distinct trigger so the intended prompt is unambiguous. You can edit or delete entries from Manage shortcuts at any time.

Customizing

The Mission Control toggle and close-tab shortcuts are configurable in Settings. Changes apply immediately.

Notes

• Shortcuts are captured ahead of the embedded terminal so they work even when a session has focus.
• Prompt shortcuts are text expansions, not API calls: OFM inserts or sends the saved phrase in the real interactive CLI session.
• The screenshot paste integrates with the image workflow — it saves the image and injects the real path at send time.
