Keyboard Shortcuts
Tapeboard ships with a full keyboard layer — ⌘K palette, ⌘1–7 menu jumps (including ⌘6 Simulator and ⌘7 Journal), plus per-page bindings on Scanner and Charts so you never reach for the mouse during a session.
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
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) |
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
| 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 |
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 (⌘K)
Open with ⌘K. The palette accepts three inputs:
- Ticker —
NVDAroutes to/research/NVDA - Page name —
scanner,gex,alerts,forex, etc. fuzzy-match menu items >command —>watch nvda,>chart aapl 5m,>alert tsla > 300(Terminal tier)
Recent jumps stick to the top of the list. The palette is the fastest path to any ticker — faster than clicking the sidebar.
Limits
- Number-row timeframe binding (
1–9) only fires when a ticker is selected and the focus is outside an input ⌘Kis hijacked by some browser extensions (LastPass, Vimium) — disable ontapeboard.comif the palette won't open- Hotkey bindings are customizable in
