# Keyboard shortcuts
> The default shortcuts, and how to change them in the Keymap tab or keymap.json.
Every command is in the command palette (⌘ ⇧ P) with its shortcut beside it. Hover tooltips and right-click menus show shortcuts too.

## Change a shortcut
### In the Keymap tab
Open it from the keyboard button at the bottom of the Projects sidebar, or **rexa: show keymap**. Each row shows an action, its arguments, keys, context and source (Default or User). Search to find one, and switch between Compact and Full views.
Click a row's record button and press the new keys. If the keys are taken, Rexa names the clash and asks before rebinding.
### In keymap.json
Your bindings live in `~/.config/rexa/keymap.json`. Rexa applies the file when you save it. The Keymap tab has buttons to open your file and a read-only copy of the defaults.
```json [~/.config/rexa/keymap.json]
[
{
"context": "Rexa",
"bindings": {
"cmd-shift-z": "rexa::ToggleZenMode",
"cmd-shift-u": null
}
},
{
"context": "Editor",
"bindings": { "cmd-k cmd-s": "rexa::SaveAll" }
}
]
```
- **Keys** are written like `cmd-shift-z`. A sequence is space-separated: `cmd-k cmd-r`.
- **The action** is a name such as `rexa::ToggleZenMode`, or `["action", argument]`.
- **`null` unbinds** the keys, and keeps them unbound if a later version adds a default there.
- **Context** limits where the binding applies: `Rexa` for everywhere, or `Editor`, `Terminal`, `Pane`, `Console`, `FilePanel`, `Sidebar`, `Browser`. The most specific context wins.
Copy action names from the default keymap or the Keymap tab. Some commands have no default shortcut, such as `rexa::ToggleZenMode`, `rexa::OpenSettings` and `rexa::ToggleStatusBar`.
`keymap.json` must be plain JSON: no comments, no trailing commas. A file that does not parse is ignored and the defaults apply. A single bad entry is skipped.
Write `cmd-~` rather than `` cmd-shift-` ``, and `cmd-{` rather than `cmd-shift-[`; the shifted form never fires.
## Which-key
Turn on `editor.which_key`, or run **editor: toggle which-key**, to show what can follow a partly typed chord or Vim command after 300 ms.
