## Input Shortcuts

These shortcuts work while typing at the prompt.

| Shortcut                       | Description                                                                                                                           |

<Note>
  On macOS, `Alt` is the `Option` key. Some shortcuts below use `Alt` (Option) as a modifier. We recommend [configuring Option as Meta](/cli/reference/terminal-compatibility#configuring-option-as-meta-on-macos) for the best experience.
</Note>

\* Requires a [compatible terminal](/cli/reference/terminal-compatibility). Terminals that do not support the Kitty keyboard protocol cannot distinguish `Shift+Enter` from `Enter`. Use `Alt+Enter` or `Ctrl+J` instead.

## Mode & Model Shortcuts

| Shortcut                 | Description                                                                          |
| ------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `Shift+Tab`              | Cycle to the next mode (Normal → Accept Edits → Plan → Bypass → Autonomous → Normal) |
| `Alt+T` (macOS: `Opt+T`) | Cycle thinking level for the current model                                           |

You can also switch modes with slash commands: `/normal`, `/plan`, `/bypass`, or `/mode <name>`. Use `/ask <question>` as a oneshot command to ask questions without switching modes.

## Text Editing

The input uses readline-style or Emacs-style keybindings for text editing.
