Keyboard shortcuts

A reference of available keyboard shortcuts within the Baseten application.
Throughout the Baseten platform, we support standard web navigation keyboard input like tab, enter, and escape, as well as meet or exceed modern standards for accessibility. Furthermore, certain areas of the Baseten platform have additional keyboard shortcuts to speed up your workflows.
For Windows users, replace Command with Control for all shortcuts.

Dashboard

From your dashboard, enter Command-k to search all Applications, Models, and Data within your account.

Application editor

We have a number of keyboard shortcuts within the application builder to make your workflows more productive. Change tabs with keys, not clicks:
  • Ctrl-Option-left to go to the previous tab.
  • Ctrl-Option-right to go to the next tab.
  • Option-tab to switch to the most recent tab.
  • Ctrl-Option-1 to Ctrl-Option-9 to switch to the nth tab. (If there are ten or more tabs, Ctrl-Option-9 switches to the last tab)
  • Ctrl-w to close a tab.

View builder

There are over a dozen commands specifically for the view builder:
  • delete removes selected component(s).
  • Command-a to select all components
  • esc to deselect all components
  • Command-z to undo any action within the view builder.
  • Command-Shift-z to redo the action.
  • Command-c to copy selected component(s).
  • Command-v to paste said component(s).
  • left to move selected component(s) 1 grid space to the left
  • right to move selected component(s) 1 grid space to the right
  • up to move selected component(s) 1 grid space up
  • down to move selected component(s) 1 grid space down
  • Shift-left to move selected component(s) 10 grid spaces to the left
  • Shift-right to move selected component(s) 10 grid spaces to the right
  • Shift-up to move selected component(s) 10 grid spaces up
  • Shift-down to move selected component(s) 10 grid spaces down

Code editor

When you edit code anywhere on the Baseten platform, from Code blocks to ad-hoc queries, you are using a web-based version of Visual Studio Code via Monaco Editor. This affords many conveniences — line numbers, syntax highlighting, automatically closing parentheses — as well as a complete set of keyboard shortcuts. Two essential shortcuts:
  • Command-s saves your current work, including saving requirements files.
  • Command-f opens the VSCode find-and-replace within your code editor.
Most shortcuts from the Visual Studio Code shortcut reference will work, except some that are used by the web browser:
  • Command-n opens a new browser window, not a new code tab.
  • Command-p prints the current page rather than opening the file search.
