Keyboard shortcuts

Keyboard shortcuts let users navigate Tree, create and edit nodes, and run common operations without a mouse. The shortcut set is consistent across views and discoverable through a command palette.

Categories of shortcuts

Tree's shortcuts cover:

• Navigation: pan, zoom, focus a node, jump between projects
• Node operations: create, edit, complete, delete, move
• Edge operations: create, delete, redirect a dependency
• View switching: graph, list, timeline (Paid), calendar (Paid)
• Search and filter: open search, apply a saved filter, clear filters
• Workspace actions: switch workspaces (Team), open settings, toggle theme

The full list is available via the command palette (cmd+K or ctrl+K), which also serves as a search-driven launcher for any action.

Customization

Most shortcuts are configurable. Users can:

• Remap any shortcut to a different key combination
• Disable shortcuts they don't use
• Create custom shortcuts for frequently used filters, views, or actions

Customization is per-user, even in team workspaces. Each user can configure shortcuts to match their own preferences.

Why shortcuts matter

Tree's graph view is dense with interactive elements. A user navigating with the mouse alone can do everything, but keyboard shortcuts make the most common operations cheaper. Power users typically configure a small set of shortcuts for the operations they run dozens of times a day.

Tier availability

Keyboard shortcuts are part of the core feature set, available on Free, Paid, and Team.
