Forms

Forms use progressive disclosure. Required fields are shown first. Press Tab or Down from the last required field to expand and reveal optional fields.

Key	Action
Tab / Down	Next field (expands form if on last required field)
Shift+Tab / Up	Previous field
Enter	Always saves, regardless of which field is focused
Space (on toggle field)	Flip the boolean (Verify TLS, Auto Sync, Tunnel Type)
Space (on empty picker field)	Open the picker (Identity File, ProxyJump, Password Source, Vault SSH Role, Regions)
Space (on populated picker field)	Insert a literal space — supports paths like /home/me/My Keys/id_rsa and custom commands like my-script %h
Ctrl+D	Set global default (in password picker)
Esc	Cancel (asks to discard if changed)

Picker fields: when the field is empty, Space opens the picker overlay. Once you start typing the picker becomes unreachable until you backspace the field clean. This preserves free-text editing while keeping the picker discoverable.

Confirmation dialogs

All confirmations follow the same contract:

Key	Action
y / Y	Confirm
n / N / Esc	Cancel
any other key	Ignored (by design — prevents stray keystrokes from cancelling)

Footer labels use action verbs for destructive operations (y delete | Esc keep, y sign | Esc skip, y purge | Esc keep) so the choice is explicit.
