Tabs & Shortcuts

Work on multiple requests simultaneously with tabs, and use keyboard shortcuts for faster workflow.

Tabs

The API Client uses a tab-based interface similar to a browser. Each tab holds a complete request with its own method, URL, headers, body, and response.

  • New Tab — Click the + button next to the tabs
  • Switch — Click any tab to select it
  • Close — Click the ✕ button on the tab
  • Rename — Double-click the tab name to edit it
  • Dirty indicator — An orange dot appears when the tab has unsaved changes

Keyboard Shortcuts

Press ? in the API Client to open the full shortcuts help panel.

  • Ctrl+Enter — Send the current request
  • Ctrl+S — Save to collection
  • Ctrl+K — Open command palette (search across workspaces)
  • Ctrl+L — Clear response data
  • Escape — Close modals and help panels
  • ? — Show keyboard shortcuts help

Command Palette

Press Ctrl+K to open the command palette. Search for requests by name, URL, or workspace. Select a result to open it in a new tab.
