How to use Terminal mode.
Terminal is a dense, keyboard-first view of the markets — three workflows on one screen, navigated by hotkey. This guide walks through each view and lists every shortcut.
The three views
Every feature in Terminal lives in one of three views. You can move between them with the buttons in the top bar — or with hotkeys.
Dashboard
Your watchlist, indices, market movers, news, and a price chart for the selected symbol.
Research
Deep-dive on a single ticker — Overview, Financials, and Risk tabs.
Market Data
Indices with their constituents, commodities, the SPX-vs-VIX chart, and macro indicators.
Dashboard
The default view. Everything is visible without scrolling: indices at the top, your watchlist on the left, a price chart in the middle, market movers and news at the bottom.
Add a ticker
Press / or ⌘ K to focus the search box. Type a few letters, use ↑ / ↓ to highlight a result, then Enterto add it to your watchlist. Hit Enter with no result selected to jump straight into Research for the typed symbol.
Cycle through your watchlist
Press ] for the next symbol or [for the previous one. The price chart, news feed, and the "Research" button in the top bar all retarget instantly.
Open Research for the active symbol
Press gthenrto research the symbol you're currently looking at, or click the Research [TICKER] button in the top bar.
Research view
Three tabs cover everything you need on a ticker. Switch tabs by clicking, or with the number keys.
Overview
Price chart with multiple time ranges, the stat grid (P/E, EPS, 52W high/low, market cap, beta, volume…), and recent news for the ticker.
Financials
ProQuarterly revenue chart, profitability margins, balance sheet metrics, and cash flow.
Risk
ProBeta gauge, short interest as a percentage of float, 52-week range with a price marker, and debt metrics.
Press Esc to return to the dashboard. While in Research, [ and ] still cycle through your watchlist — the research view follows.
Market Data view
Open with gthenm or the Market Databutton. Use it to see what's inside the major indices, scan commodities, and check macro indicators.
- Index drilldown:tabs for NASDAQ 100, Russell 2000, and grouped dropdowns for the S&P (500/100/MidCap 400/SmallCap 600/Oil & Gas/Real Estate) and Dow Jones (Industrial/Composite/Transportation/Utilities) families. Each index has a price chart and a constituent table — click any row to open Research.
- Commodities: a dedicated tab for crude oil (WTI), gold, and silver.
- SPX vs VIX:a dual-line chart that plots the S&P 500 against the volatility index, with an explanation of the inverse relationship.
- Macro: Treasury yield curve plus the Fed funds rate, CPI, unemployment, and GDP.
Number keys jump straight to a tab: 1 S&P 500, 2 Dow Jones, 3 NASDAQ 100, 4 Russell 2000, 5 Commodities, 6 VIX, 7 Macro.

Tips
- Hitting Enter in the search box with no dropdown selection opens Research for the typed symbol — useful when you want to look at something without committing to the watchlist.
- The g prefix is held for ~1 second. If you press gand don't follow with a destination key, nothing happens.
- Esc works from anywhere — even while a dropdown is open in search — to go back to the dashboard.
