Hyper Keybindings

Configure keyboard shortcuts and keymaps in Hyper terminal.

Keymap Configuration

Define custom keybindings in the keymaps section of .hyper.js:

module.exports = {
  config: {
    // ... other config
  },

  keymaps: {
    // Window management
    'window:devtools': 'cmd+alt+o',
    'window:reload': 'cmd+shift+r',
    'window:reloadFull': 'cmd+shift+f5',
    'window:preferences': 'cmd+,',
    'window:new': 'cmd+n',
    'window:minimize': 'cmd+m',
    'window:close': 'cmd+shift+w',
    'window:toggleFullScreen': 'cmd+ctrl+f',

    // Zoom
    'zoom:reset': 'cmd+0',
    'zoom:in': 'cmd+plus',
    'zoom:out': 'cmd+minus',

    // Tabs
    'tab:new': 'cmd+t',
    'tab:next': 'cmd+shift+]',
    'tab:prev': 'cmd+shift+[',

    // Panes
    'pane:splitVertical': 'cmd+d',
    'pane:splitHorizontal': 'cmd+shift+d',
    'pane:close': 'cmd+w',

    // Editor
    'editor:copy': 'cmd+c',
    'editor:paste': 'cmd+v',
    'editor:selectAll': 'cmd+a',
  },
};

Platform Differences

Use platform-appropriate modifiers:

• macOS: cmd, alt, ctrl, shift

// Platform detection in config
const isMac = process.platform === 'darwin';

keymaps: {
  'tab:new': isMac ? 'cmd+t' : 'ctrl+t',
}

• Single keys: 'a', '1', 'f5'
• With modifiers: 'cmd+c', 'ctrl+shift+r'
