Default keyboard shortcuts

These are the factory bindings for commands that ship with Phials. Your current bindings can differ after customization.

On macOS, means Command, means Option, means Control, and means Shift. Phials presents combined macOS modifiers in Control, Option, Shift, Command order. Windows uses Ctrl, Alt, Shift, and Win; Linux uses Ctrl, Alt, Shift, and Super. A plus sign joins named keys on Windows and Linux. Multiple shortcuts in one cell are alternatives.

Commands without factory bindings

The following runnable commands ship without a default keyboard shortcut:

CategoryCommands
Application and windowToggle Parent Directory; Open config.toml; Reveal Phials home folder
TabsDuplicate Tab
Navigation and searchSearch
ClipboardCopy as symlink
Files and foldersOpen in…; Pin to Favorites; Unpin from Favorites; Expand Archive; Compress; Flatten Directory; Flatten Directories
CreateMarkdown File; Spreadsheet (CSV); Create Workspace Folder; New saved view
PropertiesText; Select; Multi-select; Tags; Status; Rating; URL; Date; Number; Checkbox; Relation; Rollup
File viewsDetails View; Thumbnails View; Column View; Boards View; Gallery View; Calendar View; Filter; Sort; Configure view
Workspaces and PagesRefresh Workspaces; Open Page
Network foldersConnect to Server

The New, Add Property, and View Mode rows organize child commands rather than running an action themselves, so they also have no binding.

In the current build, Settings registers commands that already have factory bindings. Commands in the unbound table do not appear in the Shortcuts editor unless their registration changes in a later release. To review current assignments, replace or remove bindings, or restore factory values, see Change keyboard shortcuts.
