Keyboard Shortcuts

WePROXA ships with keyboard shortcuts for every common action so you can drive the app without leaving the keyboard. Shortcuts use ⌘ on macOS and Ctrl on Windows unless noted.

The Settings → Keyboard Shortcuts screen lists the most common shortcuts. This guide also includes tool and editor shortcuts that are not shown in that screen.

Proxy & Capture

Action	Shortcut
Start / stop the proxy	⌘ P / Ctrl + P
Clear captured requests	⌘ K / Ctrl + K
Focus the search / filter input	⌘ F / Ctrl + F
Show / hide the advanced filter panel	⌘ ⇧ F / Ctrl + Shift + F

Appearance

Action	Shortcut
Increase font size	⌘ + / Ctrl +
Decrease font size	⌘ - / Ctrl -

Layout

Action	Shortcut
Toggle the left (sources) panel	⌘ B / Ctrl + B
Toggle the details panel	⌘ J / Ctrl + J
Show the left panel on the Explorer tab	⌘ ⇧ E / Ctrl + Shift + E
Show the left panel on the Workspaces tab	⌘ ⇧ W / Ctrl + Shift + W

The Explorer and Workspaces shortcuts expand the left panel first if it is collapsed, so they always land on the tab you asked for.

Certificates

Action	Shortcut
Open the SSL Manager window	⌘ ⇧ C / Ctrl + Shift + C

Tools

Action	Shortcut
Open Map Local	⌘ ⇧ M / Ctrl + Shift + M
Open Breakpoints	⌘ ⇧ B / Ctrl + Shift + B
Open Block List	⌘ ⇧ K / Ctrl + Shift + K
Open Network Conditioning	⌘ ⇧ N / Ctrl + Shift + N
Open Scripting	⌘ ⇧ S / Ctrl + Shift + S
Open Diff	⌘ ⇧ D / Ctrl + Shift + D
Open JSON Tools	⌘ ⇧ J / Ctrl + Shift + J

Tool shortcuts open the matching tool window. Use the toolbar, tray, or tool panel toggle to enable or disable a tool’s rules. JSON Tools and Diff are standalone utilities, so opening them does not change traffic handling.

Individual Rule Windows

On a focused rule card in Map Local, Breakpoints, Block List, Network Conditioning, or Scripting:

Action	Shortcut
Edit inline	Enter or Space
Open the rule in its own window	⌘ Enter / Ctrl + Enter

You can also ⌘-click / Ctrl-click the card. Opening an already-open rule focuses its existing window. See Detached Rule Editors for how the editor follows its Workspace.

Tool Rule Forms

These shortcuts work while an add/edit form is open in Breakpoints, Block List, Network Conditioning, or Scripting:

Action	Shortcut
Save the rule	⌘ S / Ctrl + S
Cancel and close the form	Escape

After a rule saves successfully, the action button briefly changes to a saved confirmation so you can keep editing without losing track of the last save.

Settings

Action	Shortcut
Open Settings	⌘ , / Ctrl + ,

Request List Navigation

Action	Shortcut
Move selection up / down	↑ / ↓
Expand the details panel if collapsed	Enter

With a capture milestone badge focused, press Delete or Backspace to remove that milestone. Enter or Space activates the badge and jumps to its divider.

Sidebar Navigation

These keys work on a focused row in the sidebar’s Source View:

Action	Shortcut
Move to the next / previous row	↓ / ↑
Expand / collapse a group	→ / ←
Select the row	Enter or Space

Modifier Clicks

⌘ (macOS) or Ctrl (other platforms) is WePROXA’s primary modifier. Holding it selects the alternate variant of a click:

Click target	Plain click	With ⌘ / Ctrl
Content-type chip above the request list	Select only that type	Toggle multi-select
Tool rule card	Edit inline	Open the rule in its own window
Toolbar filter icon	Expand the query builder	Enable or disable the filter without clearing your rules
Add to Filters entry in the request context menu	Extend the current query	Replace the current query — see Advanced Filtering

Tips

• Most shortcuts also appear in the app menu bar, so you can discover them contextually.
• Shortcuts are disabled while typing in editors, inputs, or dialogs — so the editor’s own find shortcut still opens Monaco’s find widget.
