Keyboard Shortcuts

UAC Launch Control comes with a set of global keyboard shortcuts for quick navigation and common operations. Press ? at any time to open the in-app shortcut reference.

Note: All single-letter shortcuts are case-sensitive (lowercase only) and are disabled while typing in a text input or textarea — no accidental triggers while filling out forms.

All shortcuts are registered globally via a keydown event listener in Header.tsx. The routing uses wouter plus URL query parameters (/install?tab=files) and a custom uac:switch-tab DOM event to handle tab switching when already on the Install page.

You can also view these shortcuts at any time by pressing ? or clicking the keyboard icon in the top navigation bar, which opens the Keyboard & Protocols modal.
