Enable CTRL+N and CTRL+P for Navigation Between Slash Commands, File Selector, and History
Resolved 💬 1 comment Opened Aug 8, 2025 by ejazahm3d Closed Nov 6, 2025
Improve keyboard accessibility by enabling CTRL+N and CTRL+P to navigate through:
- Slash command options
- File selector dropdowns
- Input history (e.g., previously entered commands or messages)
This brings familiar keybindings from terminal environments (like Vim or Bash) to the app interface, improving efficiency for keyboard-centric users.
Why:
Power users expect CTRL+N / CTRL+P to behave like arrow keys:
CTRL+N= "next" (down)CTRL+P= "previous" (up)
Adding support for input history navigation makes it easier to reuse recent commands or messages.
Acceptance Criteria:
- [ ]
CTRL+NandCTRL+Pnavigate through slash command suggestions. - [ ]
CTRL+NandCTRL+Pnavigate through file selector options. - [ ]
CTRL+NandCTRL+Pcycle through input history when slash/file menu is not open.
