Google Antigravity Keyboard Shortcuts

Every Google Antigravity shortcut in one searchable cheat sheet — the agent panel (Cmd/Ctrl+L), the Agent Manager (Cmd/Ctrl+E), inline AI commands (Cmd/Ctrl+I), plus the full VS Code–based editor, terminal, and Git keymap that Antigravity inherits. Verify your own bindings anytime in Settings → Shortcuts. Compare with Cursor, Windsurf, Zed, and GitHub Copilot when you switch between AI editors.

Why Antigravity Shortcuts Matter (August 2026)

Google Antigravity crossed 2.4 million weekly active users, and with Antigravity 2.0 the product shifted from an AI-assisted editor to an agent-first platform where the Agent Manager runs as its own surface. That changes which keys matter: most of your day is spent moving between the editor and agent threads, not typing code. Learn three chords first — Cmd/Ctrl+L to toggle the agent panel, Cmd/Ctrl+E to swap between Editor and Agent Manager, and Cmd/Ctrl+I for an inline natural-language command in either the editor or the terminal.

Because Antigravity is built on the VS Code editor, everything below the AI layer — Cmd/Ctrl+P quick open, Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+P command palette, multi-cursor, Git panel — behaves the way you already expect. The bindings worth double-checking are the ones where an agent action overlaps a VS Code default; the FAQ at the bottom covers the Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+L and Cmd/Ctrl+N overlaps in detail. Inside the agent input, @ attaches files, directories, or MCP servers as context, and / inserts a saved workflow.

Antigravity Shortcuts — Frequently Asked Questions

What is the keyboard shortcut to open the Antigravity agent panel?

Press Cmd+L on macOS or Ctrl+L on Windows and Linux. Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+I also opens the agent surface. With code or terminal output selected, the same chord sends that selection to the agent as context.

How do I switch between the Editor and the Agent Manager?

Use Cmd/Ctrl+E. In Antigravity 2.0 the Agent Manager also ships as a standalone desktop app, so you can run agent fleets in a separate window from the editor.

Why does Ctrl+Shift+L do two different things?

The binding is context sensitive. With focus in the code editor it selects all occurrences of the current selection — the inherited VS Code behaviour. With focus on an agent surface it starts a new agent conversation thread. Check which surface has focus before pressing it. The same applies to Cmd/Ctrl+N, which creates a new file in the editor and a new conversation on an agent surface.

Are Antigravity shortcuts the same as VS Code shortcuts?

Mostly. Antigravity is built on the VS Code editor, so navigation, editing, terminal, and Git bindings follow VS Code defaults. The AI and agent layer is Antigravity specific: Cmd/Ctrl+L, Cmd/Ctrl+E, and Cmd/Ctrl+I. See our VS Code shortcuts page for the full base keymap.

What is the inline AI shortcut in Antigravity?

Cmd/Ctrl+I triggers an inline natural-language command. It works in the code editor for inline completions and edits, and in the integrated terminal for command suggestions.

How do I view and customize Antigravity keyboard shortcuts?

Open Settings with Cmd/Ctrl+, and choose Shortcuts, or jump straight to the keybindings editor with Cmd/Ctrl+K then Cmd/Ctrl+S. See the official settings docs.

How do I add files and MCP servers as context?

Type @ in the agent input to attach files, directories, or MCP servers. Type / to insert a workflow — a saved prompt you can reuse across sessions.

Does Antigravity run on Windows and Linux?

Yes — macOS, Windows, and Linux. Use the platform tabs above for the exact bindings. As a rule, Cmd maps to Ctrl and Option maps to Alt.
