Keyboard Shortcuts
Keyboard shortcuts Dockerman registers.
Dockerman registers only the shortcuts listed below. The Command Palette shortcut is the only one you can change in Settings → Shortcut settings.
Global
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
| Cmd/Ctrl + ; | Open or close the Command Palette. This shortcut is customizable. |

| Enter | Run the selected command |
| Esc | Return to the previous page, or close the palette from its first page |
| Backspace | Return to the previous page when the search field is empty |
Resource search
Container, image, network, volume, file, and supported Kubernetes lists provide these search shortcuts:
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
| Cmd/Ctrl + F | Focus and select the page's search field |
| / | Focus and select the search field when focus is not already in an editable control |
| Esc | Clear the current search while keeping the search field focused |
Focused rows and cards that expose keyboard navigation can be opened with Enter or Space. This applies to those interactive items, not every list in the app.

| Delete / Backspace | Open the delete confirmation for the selected items |
Log viewer

| Cmd/Ctrl + F or / | Focus and select the log query |
| Enter | Go to the next match while the query field is focused |

Docker events
| Shortcut | Action |

| g | Jump to the newest event |

Container terminal
Terminal input is sent directly to the container's pseudo-terminal, so shell control sequences continue to work:
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
| Ctrl + C | Send an interrupt control sequence to the active process |
| Ctrl + D | Send an end-of-file control sequence |
Dockerman does not register separate copy, paste, or clear-terminal shortcuts.
Customize the Command Palette shortcut
Open Settings → Shortcut settings, select the current Command Palette shortcut, and press a new key combination. Reset restores Cmd/Ctrl + ;.
