Keyboard shortcuts

In-webview shortcuts for API, Runner, and DB, plus the full VS Code Command Palette table. Signoff Studio does not contribute VS Code keybindings — bind command IDs yourself if desired. On macOS, Cmd replaces Ctrl where the host maps the meta key.

Defaults live in the shared keymap; Windows Settings → Shortcuts can override API/global chords. See also Settings and Quick Start.

API mode shortcuts

  • Platform Availability: Full Parity (webview focus)
  • Overview: Send, save, duplicate, tab management, and settings chords for the request builder and explorer.
  • How It Works (Windows App):
    1. Focus the API request editor or explorer.
    2. Use the chords below (or Settings → Shortcuts overrides).
    3. Enter in the URL field also sends.

Windows request builder

  • How It Works (VS Code Extension):
    1. Focus inside the Signoff webview (not the VS Code editor elsewhere).
    2. Same chords apply when the webview has keyboard focus.
    3. If a chord is swallowed by VS Code, rebind the conflicting IDE key or use toolbar buttons.

VS Code request builder

  • Code / Configuration Examples:
Shortcut Action Keymap id
Ctrl+Enter Send request sendRequest
Ctrl+S Save save
Ctrl+D Duplicate duplicate
Ctrl+W Close tab closeTab
Ctrl+Shift+T Reopen closed tab reopenTab
Ctrl+, Open Settings / Preferences openSettings
F2 Rename (explorer) explorerRename
Delete Delete (explorer) explorerDelete
Ctrl+Shift+M Move to… (explorer) explorerMove
Enter in URL Send —
Escape Close dialogs / menus — 
{
  "shortcuts": {
    "overrides": {
      "save": { "ctrl": true, "key": "s" }
    }
  }
}
  • Edge Cases, Troubleshooting & Pro-Tips:
    • Unsaved dialogs may intercept navigation shortcuts — save or discard first.
    • Explorer chords require tree focus.

Runner shortcuts

  • Platform Availability: Full Parity
  • Overview: Run control, selection, folder expand/collapse, logs, history, and in-Runner help (?).
  • How It Works (Windows App):
    1. Open Runner and focus the plan/dashboard.
    2. Press ? for the on-screen cheat sheet.
    3. Use run/pause/stop chords during execution.

Windows runner shortcuts

  • How It Works (VS Code Extension):
    1. Same Runner shortcut set in the webview.
    2. Keep focus in the webview during a run.
    3. Ctrl+L / Ctrl+H open logs/history docks.

VS Code runner main

  • Code / Configuration Examples:
Shortcut Action
Ctrl+Enter Run collection
Ctrl+Enter (while running) Pause / Resume
Ctrl+Shift+Enter Restart run
Ctrl+Shift+S Stop (with confirmation)
Escape Cancel
Ctrl+F Focus request filter
Ctrl+A Select all requests
Ctrl+Shift+A Deselect all
Ctrl+Shift+I Invert selection
Ctrl+Shift+E Expand all folders
Ctrl+Shift+C Collapse all folders
Ctrl+L Open logs panel
Ctrl+H Open history panel
? Shortcuts help
  • Edge Cases, Troubleshooting & Pro-Tips:
    • Stop always confirms — prevents accidental abort mid-suite.
    • Selection chords apply to the plan tree, not OS clipboard select-all outside the webview.

Database workbench shortcuts

  • Platform Availability: Full Parity
  • Overview: Execute, format, tabs, connections, and results find for SQL work.
  • How It Works (Windows App):
    1. Open DB, focus the SQL editor or results.
    2. Ctrl+Enter runs the current statement; Ctrl+Shift+Enter runs all.
    3. Press ? for the workbench help overlay.

Windows DB workbench

  • How It Works (VS Code Extension):
    1. Same chords inside the DB webview.
    2. Avoid conflicting with VS Code Ctrl+N / Ctrl+Tab when focus is outside Signoff.
    3. Connection vault actions still need the connections pane.

VS Code DB workbench

  • Code / Configuration Examples:
Shortcut Action
Ctrl+Enter / F5 Run query
Ctrl+Shift+Enter Run all statements
Ctrl+S Save SQL file
Ctrl+Shift+S Save SQL file as
Ctrl+Shift+F Format SQL
Ctrl+N New SQL tab
Ctrl+Tab Next SQL tab
Ctrl+Shift+Tab Previous SQL tab
Ctrl+Shift+N New connection
Ctrl+O Open SQL workspace folder
Ctrl+D Duplicate connection
Ctrl+F Find in results
? Show keyboard shortcuts
Escape Close dialogs / menus
  • Edge Cases, Troubleshooting & Pro-Tips:
    • Format SQL is best-effort for dialect quirks (Oracle vs Postgres).
    • Run-all on multi-statement scripts may stop on first error depending on driver.

VS Code Command Palette

  • Platform Availability: VS Code Only
  • Overview: Ten contributed commands. No default keybindings and no contributes.configuration. Open via Ctrl+Shift+P and type Signoff Studio.
  • How It Works (Windows App): N/A — use app menus and in-webview chords.
  • How It Works (VS Code Extension):
    1. Ctrl+Shift+P → type Signoff.
    2. Run the command (e.g. Signoff Studio: Open).
    3. Optionally add user keybindings to the command IDs below.

VS Code command palette

VS Code activity bar

VS Code sidebar welcome

  • Code / Configuration Examples:
Title Command ID
Signoff Studio: Open qasignoff.open
Signoff Studio: Switch Workspace qasignoff.switchWorkspace
Signoff Studio: Restore Response Panel qasignoff.restoreResponsePanel
Signoff Studio: New Workspace qasignoff.newWorkspace
Signoff Studio: Open Workspace qasignoff.openWorkspace
Signoff Studio: Import Workspace qasignoff.importWorkspace
Signoff Studio: Manage Workspaces qasignoff.manageWorkspaces
Signoff Studio: Run Collection qasignoff.explorer.runCollection
Signoff Studio: Run Request qasignoff.explorer.runRequest
Signoff Studio: Reveal in File Explorer qasignoff.explorer.revealInExplorer

User keybindings.json example:

[
  {
    "key": "ctrl+shift+alt+o",
    "command": "qasignoff.open"
  },
  {
    "key": "ctrl+shift+alt+r",
    "command": "qasignoff.restoreResponsePanel"
  }
]
  • Edge Cases, Troubleshooting & Pro-Tips:
    • Explorer run commands expect an appropriate tree/explorer selection context.
    • Restore Response Panel is the recovery path when the response dock was closed.
    • Windows users needing Git / always-on monitors should install the desktop app — these commands do not add Git mode.

GAP IDENTIFIED: VS Code contributes zero default keybindings. In-webview API/Runner/DB shortcuts still work when the webview is focused; host-level open/workspace actions require Command Palette or custom keybindings.
