Tempo is built around two main surfaces — chat and design — plus a set of global palettes that work from anywhere. This page lists every shortcut for each, so you can keep your hands on the keyboard.
Shortcuts are written as Cmd+K on macOS and Ctrl+K on Windows and Linux. Where the two differ, both are listed. Letter keys are case-insensitive — R and r press the same key.
Global
These work from anywhere in the app.
Palettes
Chat
These apply when the chat surface is active.
Focus and tabs
Switching between chats
Alt+Up/Alt+Down walks the sidebar in order. Cmd+[/Cmd+] is more like a browser’s back/forward — it walks the chats you’ve actually visited recently.
Design / Canvas
These work when the design canvas is focused.
Press a single letter to switch tools — no modifier needed.

Cmd+L is the fastest way to ask the AI about something specific you can see — select the element, hit Cmd+L, and start typing your question.
