Prompt navigation

Inside the prompt tree:

• Single letters — pick a prompt or open a folder by its mnemonic.
• ⌘/ — run a one-off custom prompt (type // followed by your instruction).
• Esc — go back one level.

Cheat-sheet for muscle memory

The patterns underneath the defaults:

• ⌃⌘<letter> runs a per-prompt Quick Paste.
• ⌃⌘⌥<letter> runs the Open & Run variant of the same prompt.
• ⌃⌘<symbol> triggers an app-level action (C = trigger, V = clipboard, N = blank, / = custom).
• ⇧⌘<digit> for screen actions (mirrors macOS conventions — ⇧⌘3/⇧⌘4 already taken by macOS).

Pick your custom shortcuts to extend these patterns and your hands will pick them up faster.
