Keyboard shortcuts

Return, Jump and Lock pointer hotkeys, Settings, Quit, and pairing confirmations.

Continuo keeps shortcuts minimal. Most day-to-day control is crossing arranged edges or using the menu bar panel. These are the keys the app defines today.

Return hotkey

Globe/fn + \ (default) brings control back to this Mac instantly. Configure under Settings → Control & Edges → Shortcuts → Return hotkey. Record any combo with at least one modifier key.

Works from any Mac in the mesh while you are controlling a remote machine. Geometric return also works: push the cursor back across the shared edge you crossed. No hotkey required. See Keyboard and mouse for edge tuning.

Lock pointer hotkey

Globe/fn + L (default) locks the pointer to the Mac it is on, so it stops crossing to other Macs in every direction. Press it again to unlock, or click the lock button beside Pause in the menu bar panel. Clipboard sync and file sending keep working, and the Return and Jump hotkeys still move the pointer. Change it under Settings → Control & Edges → Shortcuts → Lock pointer hotkey. See Lock the pointer to one Mac.

⌘, opens Settings. ⌘Q quits Continuo.

Pairing and onboarding

Return confirms They match, then Pair, or advances onboarding Continue.

QuickJump

Globe/fn + J (default) teleports the cursor to a paired Mac. In Settings, QuickJump’s key is the Jump hotkey, under Settings → Control & Edges → Shortcuts; record a different combo there.

With one other Mac to reach, the cursor goes straight there, with no switcher to confirm. With more than one, a switcher opens: type to filter, arrow keys to choose, Return to jump, Escape to close.

Macs that are off the network sit at the bottom under Offline and the arrow keys skip them, because a jump to them cannot land. One that Wake-on-LAN can still reach stays pickable and is marked Wake: that jump wakes the Mac first, so it takes seconds rather than being instant.

Live Macs come first. A Mac that is asleep but can be woken stays pickable under Offline, marked Wake.

When the cursor arrives, a ring marks where it landed, and a jump also names the Mac it came from at the top of the screen. Both fade on their own and neither takes clicks.

You can also choose Jump here on a connected Mac’s row in the menu bar panel without crossing the full desk layout. See Free vs Pro.
