The fastest way around VEEMAN is the command palette. Press ⌘K (macOS) or Ctrl-K (Windows/Linux), or click Search in the top bar, anywhere in the app (Overview, Analysis and Research). Start typing and pick a result.
| Group | Commands |
|---|---|
| Go to | Jump to any page of Analysis and Research, or start a New backtest. |
| Portfolios | Open a saved portfolio in the workspace. |
| Strategies | Open a saved strategy as a new portfolio in the workspace. |
| Backtests | Reopen a saved backtest in the Research console. |
| Weights | Equal weights (1/n across visible strategies) · Reset weights to 1.00. |
| Session | Undo / Redo · Save variant (freeze and pin) · Clear session. |
| Compare | Actions on currently pinned variants, or freeze a saved portfolio as a variant. |
| Strategies (show/hide) | Show or hide individual strategies of the open portfolio. |
With the palette empty, each saved-work group shows your five most recent items; typing searches all of them by name and tag. Opening a portfolio or a strategy replaces the portfolio you have open: if it has unsaved changes you're asked to confirm first. From Research, the palette takes you to the workspace to open it. The weights, session, compare and show/hide groups only appear when a portfolio is open in Analysis.
Search, don't navigate
The palette searches across pages, commands and your saved work at once, so "omaha" finds the portfolio and "mon" might offer the Monthly page and a strategy named Monday. It's usually quicker than going through the Library or the sidebar.
| Where | Key | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Backtest | ⌘↵ / Ctrl+Enter | Run the backtest from the recipe. |
| Backtest | / (outside a field) | Open Add a condition in the plan. |
| Backtest · Plan | ↑ / ↓ or ← / → on a number token | Change it by one step (Shift = a bigger step); dragging it sideways does the same. |

| Define | ← / → on the time slider | One minute back / forward (Shift = 15 minutes). |
| Backtest · Anatomy | ← / → on a strike token | Move that leg's strike; Enter jumps to its row. |
| Rewind | Space | Play / pause. |
| Rewind | ← / → | One minute back / forward (Shift = ten minutes). |
| Rewind | J · K · L | Play backwards · pause · play forwards (J or L again doubles the speed). |
| Rewind | Home / End | Jump to the open / the end of the run (the close on a day without a structure). |
| Rewind | E | Jump to the entry of the structure (the run starts at the open, the entry is an event of the day). |
| Rewind | M | Mount a structure at the playhead: the first one on the day, then more next to the ones in play. |
| Rewind | Esc | Leave full screen, close the drawer or the structure ticket. |
