Keyboard shortcuts

A short list — the ones that actually speed up working with an AI agent. The star is "select the whole last output and copy it", so you can paste it straight back.

The essential one

Grab the last result and copy it — macOS Terminal: ⌘+⇧+A (select last output), then ⌘+C (copy). Now paste it to the agent. This is the one to memorise.

Terminal

Action	macOS	Windows / Linux
Select the last output	`⌘`+`⇧`+`A`	select with mouse
Copy	`⌘`+`C`	`Ctrl`+`⇧`+`C`
Paste	`⌘`+`V`	`Ctrl`+`⇧`+`V`
Clear the screen	`Ctrl`+`L`	`Ctrl`+`L`
Clear + scrollback	`⌘`+`K`	—
Stop what's running	`Ctrl`+`C`	`Ctrl`+`C`
Previous command	`↑`	`↑`

Everywhere (worth knowing)

Action	macOS	Windows / Linux
Copy / Paste	`⌘`+`C` / `⌘`+`V`	`Ctrl`+`C` / `Ctrl`+`V`
Select all	`⌘`+`A`	`Ctrl`+`A`
