# Workbench keyboard reference

Use this reference to reach a Mandarin workbench surface, then check focus before entering text. These are not Ouros X global modifier controls or standalone Agent RX CLI commands. A listed binding does not prove that an optional integration is configured or available in your supplied build.

## Workbench controls

| Action | macOS | Other supported keyboard configurations |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Workspace / Files | Command Shift E | Control Shift E |
| Search | Command Shift F | Control Shift F |
| Agent RX panel | Command L | Control L |
| Terminal dock | Control backtick | Control backtick |
| Settings | Command comma | Control comma |
| Hide or restore sidebar | Command B | Control B |
| Toggle light/dark appearance | Command Option T | Control Alt T |

These chords target the workbench, not every text field or terminal program. **Search** opens a surface; it does not itself prove a search ran or a workspace-wide index exists. **Agent RX** opens a panel; it does not prove a model connection. Terminal visibility is not a shell command's completion result.

## Search strip

| Key | Meaning in the strip |
| --- | --- |
| Enter | Move to the next match. |
| Shift Enter | Move to the previous match. |
| Tab / Shift Tab | Move between fields and controls. |
| Escape | Close the strip. |

Find and replace act on the active file. Check the file tab before replacing text; file-name navigation is a different operation.

## Focus and constrained windows

Menu controls support **Tab** and **Shift Tab**, with **Enter** or **Space** activation. If the sidebar is constrained, use the icon rail and its labels. A compact rail is not evidence that the workspace or files were removed.

If a chord produces the wrong result, confirm Mandarin is active and the intended control owns focus before trying again. Use the [first-folder walkthrough](/docs/mandarin/quickstart) to establish a known starting state, or [the editor/agent explanation](/docs/mandarin/editor-and-agent) to identify the surface that owns the action.
