Delete, Delete Delete the selected saved snippet after confirmation
Alt+J / Alt+K Open the next / previous session in the active Inbox split
Alt+E Hide the active tab until a new blue dot; after opening from Inbox, continue to the next session in that split
Ctrl+K -> Pin to Top Keep the active session at the top of its workspace sidebar
Right-click tab -> Pin to Top Pin or unpin that specific sidebar session
Ctrl+W Close active tab
Ctrl+Shift+T Reopen last closed tab
Shortcut Action
F2 Rename the active tab, or the selected session while Inbox is open
Double-click tab Rename tab
Ctrl+V / Ctrl+Shift+V Paste into focused shell
Ctrl+Shift+C Copy console selection if present
Shortcut Action
Alt+I Open Inbox; inside Inbox, return to the ALL split
j / k or Alt+J / Alt+K Move down / up the current Inbox split
e or Alt+E Hide the selected row across restarts; a blue dot reveals it, opening that blue-dot row restores it, and spinner activity alone keeps it hidden
z Undo the most recent Inbox archive and restore its previous read/unread state
Alt+H Remind Me for the selected Inbox row; its tmux session keeps running (Ctrl+Shift+H remains an alias)
Alt+X Dissolve selected tmux session, or close a non-tmux tab (press twice)
q / Esc Close Inbox

An E/Alt+E archive lasts until a blue dot, manual mark-unread, or explicit reactivation from All Sessions (Ctrl+Shift+A). Opening an archived row from All Sessions permanently restores it to the Inbox and workspace sidebar; switching away does not archive it again.

After opening a session, returning to Inbox restores focus to that same session by identity even if activity changed its sorted position. The Windows title/taskbar label shows Inbox while this view is open, then follows the workspace of every session opened with Enter, Alt+J/K, or Alt+E. Sessions opened from Inbox always land with keyboard focus in the shell, never the docked browser pane.

Shortcut Action
Ctrl+Shift+A Open All Sessions
Ctrl+F Start a live reduction search across session name, tmux name, workspace, context, host, and status
Backspace Edit the active search query
Up / Down, Enter Select and open a matching session
Esc Clear an active search; outside search, close All Sessions
Shortcut Action
Alt+A Open or reconnect browser pane
Alt+W Open a URL from the shell buffer in the docked pane
Alt+Q Switch keyboard focus between shell and browser pane, including while the Edge address bar is focused
Ctrl+Shift+S Screenshot the browser tab, paste its uploaded link into the owning shell, then focus that shell for annotation
Ctrl+K -> Browser commands Open URL, insert multiprompt-browser instructions, force a pane rebind

Browser-focused keyboard shortcuts should usually pass through to Edge. Shell-focused shortcuts may be handled by multiprompt. tmux prefix sequences must remain tmux-owned.

Do not add Ctrl+Alt shortcuts. On the user keyboard, Ctrl+Alt is AltGr.
