Keyboard shortcuts

The full shortcut reference — and how to live in Berthly without touching the mouse.

The essentials

ShortcutAction
⌘KOpen the command palette — every action, searchable
⌘1⌘6Switch sidebar sections: Compute, Volumes, Networks, Images, Registries, System
⌘⌥1Detail tab: Overview
⌘⌥2Detail tab: Logs
⌘⌥3Detail tab: Terminal

Beyond these, every action in Berthly has a menu item — and menu items have shortcuts, so anything you do often is learnable from the menu bar.

Living in Berthly keyboard-only

The palette isn’t a shortcut list — it’s the fastest way to do things. A complete pull-to-shell workflow, no mouse involved:

  1. ⌘K, type pull — pull the image you need.
  2. ⌘K, type run — create and start a container from it.
  3. ⌘⌥2 — watch the logs stream as it boots.
  4. ⌘⌥3 — drop into a real shell inside the container.
  5. ⌘K, type the container’s name — stop, start, or delete it from anywhere.

The palette matches on both actions and resources, so typing a container or machine name surfaces its lifecycle actions directly — no need to navigate to it first.

Working with the terminal

The integrated terminal (built on SwiftTerm) is a real login shell in your container or machine. Standard terminal keys work as you’d expect; use ⌘⌥1 to hop back to Overview without leaving the keyboard.
