The Shortcuts Panel
Press ? anywhere in the cockpit to open a cheatsheet of every shortcut, and ? again or Esc to close it. The panel reads the same definitions the keys do, so it is always current. This page is the full reference.

The one-hand trading layer — letters on the left, numbers and Enter on the right. These fire only when the trading panel is open and you are not typing in a text field, so a key can never trade by accident. A live order still takes a deliberate Enter after you have armed a side and size.

- Trading keys are ignored while you are typing in any input, textarea, or the AI chat — so typing never triggers an action.
- Keys combined with Ctrl, Cmd, or Alt are left to the browser and your OS; VYX only binds plain keys and Shift chords.
- Tab keeps its normal browser behavior and is not bound to a trading action.
