Keyboard Shortcuts
Roflow ships with a handful of keyboard shortcuts for switching between the Dashboard and Code, talking to the agent, and moving around the editor.
This page lists the shortcuts most creators use day to day. The complete, authoritative list lives inside Roflow: open the Keyboard Shortcuts editor from Settings, where you can search every command and rebind any key to suit your workflow. If a shortcut here ever differs from what you see in the app, trust the app.
Roflow shortcuts
These shortcuts are specific to Roflow. On macOS use Cmd; on Windows use Ctrl.
| Action | macOS | Windows |
|---|---|---|
| Toggle between Dashboard and Code | Cmd+Shift+H | Ctrl+Shift+H |
| Jump to the Roflow Agent chat input | Cmd+L | Ctrl+L |
| Add the selected code to the agent chat | Cmd+' | Ctrl+' |
A few notes on these:
- Toggle Dashboard / Code flips the main area between the Game Dashboard and the code editor. You can do the same thing with the button at the top of the left sidebar, or with the Roflow: Show Dashboard / Roflow: Show Code commands. See the full list on the Commands page.
- Jump to Chat Input moves your cursor straight into the agent composer so you can start typing a request. When you have no text selected in the editor,
Cmd/Ctrl+'does the same thing. - Add the selected code to the agent chat only works when you have code selected in the editor — it appends the selection to the composer as context so you can ask about it or build on it. You can also do this from the editor's right-click menu (Add to Roflow Agent), and terminal output can be added the same way.
For more on working in the chat panel, see Talking to Roflow.
Dashboard-only shortcuts
While you're in Dashboard mode, two shortcuts stage a ready-to-go task in the chat input based on your game's current state:
| Action | macOS | Windows |
|---|---|---|
| Start the recommended next step | Cmd+Shift+B | Ctrl+Shift+B |
| Fix the top open risk | Cmd+Shift+F | Ctrl+Shift+F |
These fill the chat composer with the task so you can review and edit it before sending — they never start work on their own. Learn more in Planning Your Game.
Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+F normally opens project-wide search, and Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+B is a build shortcut. In Dashboard mode those combos are remapped to Fix Top Risk and Start Recommended Next Step. The moment you switch back to Code, they return to their usual editor behavior — so search still works as expected while you're editing files.
Switching the agent to Act mode
The agent has a Plan mode (where it proposes an approach without changing anything) and an Act mode (where it does the work). When the agent invites you to switch, you can press Cmd+Shift+A on macOS to move from Plan to Act, or just click the Act Mode control shown in its message. See Planning Your Game for how Plan and Act modes work together.
Standard editor shortcuts
Roflow is built on a familiar code-editor foundation, so the everyday editor shortcuts you may already know are unchanged.
| Action | macOS | Windows |
|---|---|---|
| Command Palette (run any command) | Cmd+Shift+P | Ctrl+Shift+P |
| Quick Open (go to file) | Cmd+P | Ctrl+P |
| Search across your project | Cmd+Shift+F | Ctrl+Shift+F |
The Command Palette is the fastest way to reach anything by name, including all of Roflow's own commands — see the Commands reference for what you can run there.
Any of these can be changed. Open the Keyboard Shortcuts editor from Settings, search for a command, and assign the keys you prefer. Some shortcut labels shown on Dashboard buttons are resolved for your platform and current bindings, so they always reflect what's actually set on your machine.
