Be more productive with Replit by learning the code editor’s powerful shortcuts for editing, writing, and inspecting code.

## Command Palette
The shortcuts we'll show you here are for Windows. If you're using a Mac, use the `cmd` key instead of the `ctrl` key, and the `option` key instead of the `alt` key.

When you use a shortcut, be sure that your repl window has been clicked, or these shortcuts may access the browser's keyboard shortcuts.

## Command palette

The command palette allows you to view all available commands based on your current context.

To access the command palette, press `F1` or `Ctrl+Shift+P` (`cmd+shift+P` on a Mac). **Note:** If you are using Firefox, `Ctrl+Shift+P` will open an incognito window, so use the `F1` option instead.

@jamesdanielwhitford - does pressing ctrl+alt do anything on its own? For me (on mac) it only works if I also click. I'd also change "click with the mouse" to "left click" just to make it unambiguous.
