Keyboard Shortcuts

The Wework desktop app provides local keyboard shortcuts when running in Tauri. Shortcut settings are stored only on the current device. They are not written to Backend and are not synced through a cloud connection.

Open Settings

In the Tauri desktop app, open Settings → Personal → Keyboard Shortcuts to view and edit local shortcuts. Each row shows the command name, description, current key binding, and actions to reset or clear the binding.

After a shortcut is changed, Wework refreshes the shortcut listeners in the current window immediately.

Default Shortcuts

Command	Default binding	Description
Toggle bottom panel	Command+J	Show or hide the bottom panel; opening it starts the terminal by default
Open settings	Command+,	Open the settings page
Go back	Command+[ / Mouse Back	Go back in navigation history
Go forward	Command+] / Mouse Forward	Go forward in navigation history
Toggle sidebar	Command+B	Show or hide the left sidebar
Toggle side panel	Alt+Command+B	Show or hide the right workspace panel
Choose model	Control+Shift+M	Open or close the model selector for the active composer

Registered global shortcuts still work when focus is inside the chat composer or terminal. Normal text input is not intercepted.

Local Storage

User shortcut overrides are stored in the local executor runtime-work directory:

<WEGENT_EXECUTOR_HOME>/runtime-work/keybindings.json

When WEGENT_EXECUTOR_HOME is not set, the default path is:

~/.wegent-executor/runtime-work/keybindings.json

The file contains an array. Each item has a command and the user override key. A null key means the command binding is cleared.

[
  {
    "command": "openSettings",
    "key": "Command+,"
  },
  {
    "command": "openTerminal",
    "key": null
  }
]

Wework built-in defaults are not written into this file. Only user overrides, resets, and clears are persisted.
