Keyboard Shortcuts

CubeTerminal is keyboard-driven. Most shortcuts are customizable — open Settings → Hotkeys, click any binding, and press the key combo you want. The tables below list the defaults.

Single-key bindings (like /) are ignored while you're typing in an input or text field, so they never swallow keystrokes.

Command palette

The command palette is the fastest way to switch symbols, open widgets, and jump to settings.

Shortcut	Action
`Ctrl + K` / `Cmd + K`	Open / close the command palette
`/`	Open the command palette (when not typing in a field)
`↑` / `↓`	Move through results
`Enter`	Run the highlighted action
`Esc`	Close the palette

Global hotkeys (customizable)

Defaults from Settings → Hotkeys. Rebind any of them there.

Shortcut	Action
`/`	Focus the Command Line widget
`Ctrl + ,`	Open Settings
`Ctrl + 1`	Switch active exchange to Hyperliquid
`Ctrl + 2`	Switch active exchange to Bybit
`Ctrl + B`	Quick buy
`Ctrl + Shift + S`	Quick sell
`Esc`	Cancel all orders
`Ctrl + P`	Toggle the Positions widget
`Ctrl + O`	Toggle the Orders widget
`Ctrl + N`	Toggle the News Feed widget

Toggles for the Chart, Order Book, Trade Entry, Trades, Ticker, Symbols, Portfolio, and Command Line widgets exist too but ship unbound — assign keys to them in Settings → Hotkeys if you want them.

Function keys

Fixed shortcuts (not rebindable) for opening common widgets. They fire only when you're not typing in a field.

Shortcut	Action
`F1`	Open Settings
`F2`	Toggle News Feed
`F3`	Toggle Chart
`F4`	Toggle Order Book
`F5`	Toggle Positions
`F6`	Toggle Trade Entry
`F7`	Toggle Portfolio
`F8`	Toggle Swap

Panic flatten

Shortcut	Action
Hold `F9` (600ms)	Market-close every open position on every connected exchange

⚠️

F9 is a hold, not a tap — the hold is the confirmation. A quick press does nothing; release before the timer and it cancels. Prediction (outcome) positions are skipped and must be closed from the Prediction widget.

News Feed

When the News Feed widget is focused:

Shortcut	Action
`↑` / `↓`	Move the selection through cards
`Enter`	Switch the chart to the selected card's first ticker
`Ctrl + P`	Pin / unpin the selected card
`Esc`	Clear the selection
`B`	News-fire long the first tradeable ticker on the selected card
`S`	News-fire short the first tradeable ticker on the selected card

B / S news-fire only works when the News Fire profile is enabled (with a size set) in Settings → Risk. Otherwise the keys do nothing.

In the image lightbox: Esc closes it, ← / → move between images.

Command Line

The Command Line widget takes terse, natural-language trading commands — no leading slash required (a leading / is accepted and stripped). It reads the active symbol and exchange from the terminal.

Orders

buy BTC 0.1              Market buy 0.1 BTC   (aliases: long, l, b)
sell ETH 500 3200        Limit sell $500 of ETH at 3200   (aliases: short, s)
buy 0.1                  Uses the active symbol when omitted

Add a price as the last argument for a limit order; omit it for market. Size accepts shorthand (100, 1k, 2.5k).

Positions & orders

close BTC                Close the BTC position   (aliases: c, x)
close BTC 50             Close 50% of the BTC position
close all                Close every open position
close all 25             Close 25% of every position
cancel BTC               Cancel open orders for BTC
cancel                   Cancel all open orders
sl BTC 5 100             Stop-loss BTC at 5% away, 100% of size

Advanced order engines

buy BTC 1000 twap twap_30s max_100 until_10m     TWAP over time
buy BTC 1000 chase <65000                          Chase the bid up to a limit
buy BTC 1000 scale_5_1%                            Scale into 5 orders, 1% apart
wait 500                                            Pause (ms) between chained commands

On-chain & tracking

tp <address> <price> <amount>     On-chain take-profit
osl <address> <price> <amount>    On-chain stop-loss
add <handle> [all]                Track a Twitter/X handle
del <handle>                      Stop tracking a handle
!track <tweet-url>                Track a specific tweet

Utility

accounts / positions              Focus the Accounts/Positions view (aliases: account, pos)
orders                            Focus the Orders view
settings                          Open settings
? <question>                      Help / ask

You can define your own aliases and reuse {last}, {coin}, {symbol}, and {size1}–{size4} variables inside commands. Manage them in the Command Line settings.

Tips

Palette first — Ctrl + K or / gets you to any symbol, widget, or setting in a couple of keystrokes.
Rebind to your muscle memory — Settings → Hotkeys, then Reset to Defaults if you want to start over.
Learn the Command Line — a full order with price and engine modifiers is faster to type than to click.
Know F9 — the panic flatten is there when a trade goes against you.
