JustZix keyboard shortcuts — the complete cheat sheet
A lot of JustZix can be driven from the keyboard — from running code, through navigating search results, to summoning developer windows. This post collects every built-in shortcut into one cheat sheet, grouped by where it works.
Code editor — CSS and JS panes
Ctrl+Enter— runs the code in a JS pane (on the page and in a TEMP JS window).Ctrl+Alt+→/Ctrl+Alt+←— jumps to the next / previous match in the search bar above a CSS or JS editor.Esc— closes the editor's search bar.
JS Console — the on-page REPL
Enter— runs the typed command.↑/↓— scrolls through command history.Ctrl+L— clears the console.
Output Console window
Active whenever at least one Output window is on the page:
Ctrl+Shift+L— clears the log.Ctrl+Shift+S— toggles the search bar.Ctrl+Shift+K— cycles the view mode (tabs).
Quick Help — Ctrl+Shift+H is now global (v3.0)
The Ctrl+Shift+H shortcut now opens Quick Help — a complete guide to the on-page UI (global and in-window shortcuts, Output Console, mouse interaction with windows, action-bar edit mode, logging) laid out in two columns. It works globally, whether or not an Output Console is on the page — any tab with the extension enabled will do. You close it with Esc, a click outside the popup, or by pressing the shortcut again.
Network tab
Alt+clickon a row — adds (or removes) the entry's domain to the „Domains+” filter.Alt+Shift+clickon a row — adds (or removes) the domain to the „Domains-” (exclude) filter.
The shortcut works the same on Windows, Linux and macOS — it used to be on Ctrl, but Ctrl+click on macOS is captured as the context menu.
TEMP windows — summoned by shortcut
Ctrl+Alt+G— CSS pane (TEMP).Ctrl+Alt+H— JS pane (TEMP).Ctrl+Alt+J— JS Console (TEMP).Ctrl+Alt+K— Output Console (TEMP).
These windows are ephemeral — they vanish on a page reload.
On-page windows — mouse, but worth knowing
- Double-click a TEMP window's title bar — toggles between the remembered size and the default (380×240).
- Drag the edges and corners — resizes the window (8 handles); the last size is remembered separately for each window type.
Edit panel in a separate window — Ctrl+Alt+I / O / P (v3.2.4–v3.2.6)
Three new shortcuts let you jump into the editor without leaving the current page:
Ctrl+Alt+I— opens the edit panel in a separate browser window and lands on the CSS tab.Ctrl+Alt+O— same for the JS tab.Ctrl+Alt+P— same for the Actions tab.
The opened window automatically selects the first active rule that matches the current page. If no rule matches, the panel opens clean, ready for a new one. Used inside an already open panel, the same shortcuts do not create a second window — they switch the active rule's tab. Matching is keyed on the physical key (e.code), so the shortcuts work on every keyboard layout, including the Polish Programmers layout (AltGr+O = ó no longer breaks Ctrl+Alt+O).
Your action shortcuts
Every action on a bar can get its own shortcut. You pick it from a safe pool: Ctrl+Alt+Shift + a character (a letter, digit or punctuation mark) — 41 combinations. The pool is chosen so it never collides with browser or system shortcuts on any platform and never types a character into a text field. An action shortcut works on every page where the action is active.
Learn the shortcuts from the Dashboard
You do not have to memorise this list — the Tip tile on the Dashboard draws advice from a pool of 60 tips, and a good share of them are shortcuts. The „previous” and „next” buttons let you browse the whole pool.
Install JustZix and drive the panels and windows from the keyboard, without reaching for the mouse.
