# Keybindings

> Default Traycer Desktop keyboard shortcuts and how to customize them.

Keybindings are local keyboard shortcuts. They are a local UI preference, not shared Task content.

## Customize Shortcuts

Every shortcut below can be changed. Open **Settings → Keybindings**, then:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Find the command">
    Locate the action you want to change in the list.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Capture a new shortcut">
    Click **Capture shortcut**, then press the key combination you want to assign.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Clear or reset (optional)">
    Click **Clear** to unbind an action, or **Reset all to defaults** to restore every shortcut at once.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  **Sub-leader configuration** sets the secondary modifier (default <kbd>Opt</kbd> / <kbd>Alt</kbd>) used by the number shortcuts in the tables below.
</Note>

## Default Shortcuts

Number shortcuts are leader chords: hold the modifier and press a digit.

### Tasks

Each tab in the header strip is a Task.

### Tabs

Within a Task, panels open as tabs (chats, terminals, artifacts).
