Keyboard shortcuts

VibeBar registers three global shortcuts on Windows. They work while the app is running and Global hotkeys is enabled in Settings.

Shortcuts

Shortcut	Action
Ctrl+Shift+H	Hide or show the floating toolbar
Ctrl+Alt+Shift+P	Open the command palette
Ctrl+Shift+T	Toggle Smart Terminal

Ctrl+Alt+Shift+P also restores the toolbar if it was hidden.

Enable or disable

Settings → Behavior → Global hotkeys (default: on)

When off, use the system tray or toolbar buttons instead.

Hotkeys cannot be remapped in the app today. If registration fails because another app owns the combo, VibeBar logs a warning at startup.

Toolbar hidden?

1. Ctrl+Shift+H
2. System tray → Show toolbar
3. Settings → Show toolbar (also resets dock position)

Cursor uses the same palette shortcut

Cursor maps Ctrl+Shift+P to its own command palette. VibeBar uses Ctrl+Alt+Shift+P by default to avoid the conflict. If the palette does not open, focus the toolbar first or disable VibeBar hotkeys in Settings.

No dedicated hotkeys for

Prompt Library, Security Audit, Session Hub, Context Packer, Notes, and Snip. Open the palette and type the tool name.
