Navigation - Keyboard Shortcuts, Tabs & Command Palette
Pane layout
Section titled “Pane layout”lazyaz uses a miller-columns layout — parent, focused, and child panes arranged left to right. As you drill into resources, the focused pane shifts right and the previous pane becomes the parent column on the left.

| Key | Action |

The Notifications history (N) overlay keeps the last 1 000 events.
Transient toasts auto-dismiss after ~1.5 s (or 5 s for errors). The
Activity overlay (F) shows in-flight cache fetches across all tabs
and lets you cancel them mid-flight — note that some long-running
operations (Service Bus requeue/move) are not yet routed through it.
Run Blob Storage, Service Bus, and Key Vault side by side. Each tab has its own subscription context.

Action menu
Section titled “Action menu”Press a to open a context-aware action menu for the current pane. The menu
shows only actions relevant to your current selection — download, yank, sort,
requeue, and more depending on the resource type. Type to filter, Enter to
execute.
Command palette
Section titled “Command palette”Press Ctrl+P to open the command palette. It lists every available
command grouped by section — new tabs (Blob / Service Bus / Key Vault /
Dashboard / Azurite preset / Blob-by-connection-string), open tabs (Go to Tab N), tab management (close / next / previous), the Azure Login /
Switch Tenant flow, theme picker, notifications history, activity
overlay, help, and quit. Type to fuzzy-filter, Enter to execute.
Note: switching subscription is not in the palette — it’s the top-level
shortcut S (or Ctrl+S in standard).
Jump list
Section titled “Jump list”lazyaz keeps a vim-style jump list that tracks where you’ve been across tabs. Drill-ins (into a container, namespace, vault) plus tab switches and new-tab opens are recorded.
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
Ctrl+O | Jump back to the previous position |
Ctrl+I / Ctrl+N / Ctrl+] | Jump forward |
Jumps cross tab boundaries — pressing Ctrl+O can return you to a different
tab you had open. The list holds up to 100 entries and is deduplicated so
rapid back-and-forth doesn’t bloat it.
Some terminal + multiplexer combinations can’t distinguish Ctrl+I from Tab,
which is why Ctrl+N and Ctrl+] are also bound to jump forward.
