Supported keys

For modifier keys you can use shift, ctrl, alt, or meta. You can substitute option for alt and command for meta.

Other special keys are backspace, tab, enter, return, capslock, esc, escape, space, pageup, pagedown, end, home, left, up, right, down, ins, del, and plus.

Any other key you should be able to reference by name like a, /, $, *, or =.

⚠ Warning: Use ctrl+alt or cmd+alt modifier only with arrow and digit key. Otherwise, shortcut will not be detected by Hyper.

Usage

Navigation with arrows

Use ctrl+alt+<Up,Down,Left,Right> (or your configured hotkeys) to navigate to a neighbor pane.

Jump with digit

Use ctrl+alt+<1-9> (or your configured hotkeys) to jump directly to a numbered pane. Panes are ordered "first child descendent" and 9 is reserved to the last pane.

Hotkey indicators are displayed on top left corner of each pane from 2 panes opened. You can change its content, its style or hide them completly.

Pane permutation

Adding shift key (or your configured key) to previous hotkeys cause a pane switching.

Focus on mouse hover

Set config.paneNavigation.focusOnMouseHover to true and focus will change when mouse cursor enters into an another pane.

Maximize a pane

You can temporarily maximize pane with meta+enter (or your configured key) and restore it with the same key. You can have one maximized pane per tab.

Dim inactive panes

By default, inactive panes are dimmed (opacity: 0.6). You can disable this by setting inactivePaneOpacity to 1.
