Keyboard shortcuts

Dax is built around global shortcuts — press one from any app and the tool opens instantly. The five most-used tools have a dedicated shortcut; the rest open from the Dax menu-bar icon.

Global shortcuts

Tool	Shortcut	What it does
Frequent CLIs	`⌃` `⌥` `↩`	Jump to the CLIs you use most
Image to URL	`⌃` `⌥` `U`	Drop an image, get a hosted link
Image to Prompt	`⌃` `⌥` `P`	Turn any image into a prompt
Ask AI	`⌃` `⌥` `Q`	Ask a quick question, anywhere
File Drop	`⌃` `⌥` `B`	Bulk-upload files in one go

⌃ is Control, ⌥ is Option, and ↩ is Return.

The remaining tools open from the Dax icon in your menu bar:

AI Text Transform
Vibe History
Inject MD
Open Project
Image Ask
Generate Image
Boilerplates
