Vim mode

Toggle via Settings → Editor → Vim mode (or :set vim in command palette). Provided by @replit/codemirror-vim.

Standard vim motions work. Notable httui extensions:

Vim command	Action
:run	Run block under cursor
:run-all	Run all blocks
:cancel	Cancel running block
:env <name>	Switch active environment

Alt+1..9 is disabled by default (conflicts with macOS window managers like Aerospace). Re-bind in user.toml if needed.

Slash commands

Type / at the start of a line in the editor — a command palette appears. Pick to insert a template.

Command	Inserts
/HTTP Request	Generic HTTP block scaffold
/HTTP GET	GET request template
/HTTP POST	POST request template with JSON body
/HTTP PUT	PUT request template
/HTTP DELETE	DELETE request template
/DB Query	Picks connection from a dropdown, inserts SELECT
/Diff	Standalone diff block (two text panes)
/Mermaid	Mermaid diagram code block

Each template lands with the cursor on the URL / SQL line so you can start typing immediately.

Reference autocomplete

Type {{ in any block body → popover lists:

• Block aliases above the current cursor
• Env vars from the active environment

Filter by typing. Tab to complete. Esc to cancel. The popover shows a small hint ((cached) if the alias has been run, (env) for env vars).

Schema autocomplete (DB blocks)

Type a table name in a DB block — Schema-aware popover suggests columns with their types. Type a column → see type info hover.

Git panel

Shortcut	Action
Cmd+G (when git panel open)	Stage all + commit
Cmd+Shift+S	Sync (stage → commit → pull --ff-only → push)
Cmd+B (when git panel focused)	Branch picker

TUI

The terminal binary (httui-tui) has its own keymap — see CLI reference. It deliberately avoids Alt+<digit> chords; prefers g-prefix sequences (vim-style) and bare letters.

Customisation

Settings → Keymap shows every action with its current binding. Click to rebind. Resets persist to user.toml:

[keymap]
"chat.toggle" = "Cmd+J"            # was Cmd+B
"block.run" = "Cmd+R"              # was Cmd+Enter

Reload settings to apply (or restart the app).
