Keyboard Shortcuts¶
Overview¶
Tapeboard ships with a keyboard layer for the heaviest-used surfaces. Sidebar menus take ⌘1–⌘7, the command palette is ⌘K, and Scanner + Charts each carry their own per-page bindings. Press ? on any page to summon the inline hotkey help modal.

SCANNER SHORTCUTS¶
The scanner has two modes — scanner-only (split-view with inline chart) and trading-view (multi-chart workspace). Most bindings work in both.
| Binding | Action |
|---|---|
Tab |
Cycle focus between scanner panels |
↑ / ↓ |
Navigate rows in the focused panel |
Enter |
Open the highlighted ticker in /charts |
Space |
Pause/resume the live feed |
Ctrl+1–Ctrl+6 |
Focus panel by index |
1–9 |
Change chart timeframe (1=1m, 2=5m, 3=15m, 4=30m, 5=1H, 6=4H, 7=D, 8=W, 9=M) |
F |
Fullscreen the inline chart |
W |
Add highlighted ticker to the active watchlist |
A |
Open AI Analysis on the highlighted ticker |
R |
Open /research/<ticker> |
M |
Mute/unmute scanner audio |
C |
Send selected row to /charts (when a row is highlighted) |
Note
In trading-view mode, 1/5/D focus the 1-min, 5-min, and daily chart panels respectively; Tab cycles the scanner mini-panels in that workspace.
CHARTS SHORTCUTS¶
| Binding | Action |
|---|---|
1–9 |
Change timeframe on the active chart panel |
F |
Fullscreen the active panel |
Esc |
Exit fullscreen |
| Right-click price axis | Set a price alert at that level |
Note
Multi-chart layouts (1/2/4 panes) are accessible from the toolbar. Drawings persist per-ticker, per-account — switching the symbol in a panel reloads that ticker's drawing state from local storage.
COMMAND PALETTE¶
Open the command palette at any time with ⌘K. It accepts three input types:
| Input Type | Example | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Ticker symbol | NVDA |
Routes to /research/NVDA |
| Page name | scanner, gex, alerts, forex, etc. |
Fuzzy-matches and opens the menu item |
> command |
>watch nvda, >chart aapl 5m, >alert tsla > 300 |
Executes a terminal command (Terminal tier) |
Tip
Recent jumps stick to the top of the list. The palette is the fastest path to any ticker — faster than clicking the sidebar.
LIMITS¶
Note
- Number-row timeframe binding (
1–9) only fires when a ticker is selected and the focus is outside an input field. ⌘Kis hijacked by some browser extensions (LastPass, Vimium) — disable ontapeboard.comif the palette won't open.- Hotkey bindings are customizable in Settings → Hotkeys; the defaults above ship for new accounts.
