Slipway keeps its menus short. This page lists every shortcut and menu command the app adds, plus the right-click actions you might otherwise miss. Standard macOS shortcuts such as ⌘W (close window), ⌘H (hide) and ⌘Q (quit) work as usual.
Keyboard shortcuts#
| Shortcut | What it does |
|---|---|
⌘, |
Opens Settings |
⌘⇧N |
Open in New Window: opens the current app, or the app selected in the apps list, in its own window |
Return |
Presses the highlighted button in a sheet, for example Add Account, Rename or Report on GitHub, or the next button during onboarding |
Esc |
Cancels a sheet that has a Cancel or Not Now button, such as Add App Store Connect account, Rename Team or Slipway crashed last time |
When you're renaming a custom product page, Return saves the new name and Esc cancels.

Menu bar#
Slipway also adds a paper-plane icon to the macOS menu bar. Click it to see the Releases panel: each app's current status and version, a refresh button, and Open Slipway. See Menu bar and notifications.
Note — The menu bar panel shows a
⌘Ohint next to its refresh button, but that shortcut isn't wired up yet. Use Open Slipway instead.
