These shortcuts apply in fullscreen mode:

| Shortcut          | Action                                         |

| Ctrl+Shift+↑ / ↓  | Previous / next marked message                 |

Fullscreen is experimental. Start it with `step --tui-mode fullscreen`.

## Inside /tree

| Shortcut              | Action                   |
| --------------------- | ------------------------ |
| ↑ / ↓                 | Browse nodes             |
| Enter                 | Select a node            |
| Ctrl+← / →, Alt+← / → | Collapse or expand jumps |
| Shift+L               | Edit a label             |
| Ctrl+O                | Cycle filters            |

## Common picker shortcuts

Use arrows and PageUp / PageDown to browse, Enter to confirm, and Esc to cancel.

In `/resume`, Ctrl+S changes sorting, Ctrl+N filters named sessions, Ctrl+R renames, and Ctrl+D deletes. Ctrl+S in model and thinking-level pickers saves the default.

## Customization

Edit `~/.stepcode/agent/keybindings.json`, then run `/reload`. Action names include `tui.input.newLine` and `app.model.select`. For example:

```json theme={"theme":{"light":"light-plus","dark":"dark-plus"}}
{
  "tui.input.newLine": ["shift+enter", "ctrl+j"]
}
```

Override only the actions you need, avoiding duplicate bindings in the same context. If a binding fails, check terminal interception, action names, and JSON syntax.
