Appearance
Open Quickly
The Xcode-style ⌘⇧O picker. One field — fuzzy across everything you might want to jump to: open tabs, recent sessions, frequent folders, SSH hosts, agent sessions, the focused pane's commands and links, and saved recipes.

Open it
| Shortcut | Opens |
|---|---|
⌘⇧O | The full picker on the All filter — from any keyboard context (main window, settings, agent surface). |
⌘J | Jump-to — opens straight to the Current filter, scoped to the focused pane (its commands, links, and outline). |
Filters
The picker runs eight filters across the top. Each one is also a group within the All list — open it directly with its key, or cycle with Tab / ⇧Tab.
All
⌘0 — everything below, merged into a single ranked list. This is the default when you open with ⌘⇧O.
Opened
⌘W — every window, tab, and pane that's currently open. Switch to any of them without reaching for the mouse.
Recent
⌘R — recently-closed tabs and folders, from this session plus ones restored from your previous one.
Folders
⌘Z — frequently-used folders, ranked by Otty's built-in frecency database. See Frequent Folders.
SSH
⌘S — hosts parsed from your ~/.ssh/config. Press ↩ to connect in the focused pane, or ⌘K to connect in a new tab or window.
Agents
⌘G — Claude, Codex, and OpenCode sessions whose project contains the current directory. Resume one or open its transcript — see History.
Current
⌘J — the focused pane only; ⌘J opens the picker straight here. It surfaces:
- Commands from the shell history — live ones, plus commands restored from earlier session logs.
- URLs, files, and folders detected in the terminal output — see Files and Links.
- The outline of a focused file pane — Markdown / HTML headings, JSON / YAML / TOML keys, and diff files — see Outline.
- Agent prompts from the focused agent session.
Recipes
⌘E — workspace recipes you've saved. See Recipes.
Keyboard
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
↑ / ↓ | Move the selection |
PageUp / PageDown, Home / End | Jump through the list |
⌘1–⌘9 | Open the 1st–9th result directly |
↩ | Run the highlighted item's default action (open / switch to / resume / connect — depends on the item) |
⌘K | Open the Actions popover for the highlighted item |
Tab / ⇧Tab | Cycle filters |
Esc | Close |
Actions (⌘K)
Pressing ↩ runs each result's default action, but most items can do more. Press ⌘K to open the Actions popover — the same kinds of actions you'd find in the right-click menu, fuzzy-searchable. What's offered depends on the item:
| Item | Example actions |
|---|---|
| Tab | Close Tab · Move Tab to New Window · Reveal CWD in Finder · Copy CWD Path |
| Folder | Open in New Window · Split Right / Down · Change Directory Here · Reveal · Copy Path · Forget This Folder |
| SSH host | Connect · Connect in New Tab / New Window · Copy Command |
| Agent session | View Session History · Resume · Copy Project Path · Copy Session ID |
| Command | Re-Run in Current Pane · Re-Run in New Tab · Copy Command |
| File / URL | Preview · Open in Default App · Open in Otty (current pane, new tab, split) · Change Directory Here · Reveal · Copy |
