New MCP servers, model updates, and guides like this one — delivered weekly.
Antigravity is built on the VS Code engine, so standard VS Code shortcuts mostly carry over. The sections below highlight what is unique to Antigravity — the agent interaction model, @ context references, / workflow triggers, and MCP server commands — alongside the core editor shortcuts you will use every day.
1. Essential Keyboard Shortcuts
These are the shortcuts that define the Antigravity workflow. Learn these first — they cover 80% of your daily interactions with the IDE.
| Action | Mac | Windows / Linux |
|---|---|---|
| Open / focus Agent panel | Cmd+Shift+I | Ctrl+Shift+I |
| Toggle Agent panel | Cmd+L | Ctrl+L |
| Toggle Editor ↔ Agent Manager | Cmd+E | Ctrl+E |
| Inline AI completion / natural-language command | Cmd+I | Ctrl+I |
| Start a new agent conversation thread | Cmd+Shift+L | Ctrl+Shift+L |
| Command Palette | Cmd+Shift+P | Ctrl+Shift+P |
| Quick Open file | Cmd+P | Ctrl+P |
| Open Settings | Cmd+, | Ctrl+, |
| Open Theme Picker (live preview) | Cmd+K Cmd+T | Ctrl+K Ctrl+T |
Cmd+L to focus the Agent panel, you can immediately start typing your prompt — no click required. Send terminal output straight to the agent the same way: select the output, then press Cmd+L.2. Agent Commands
Antigravity's agent understands @ context references typed directly in the chat input. They tell the agent exactly which resources to include before answering — no copy-pasting code snippets needed.
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
@workspace | Includes the entire project workspace as context |
@file | Reference a specific file by name or path |
@terminal | Send the current terminal output to the agent |
@problems | Attach the Problems panel output (errors & warnings) |
@selection | Pass the currently selected editor text |
@codebase | Search across all indexed files in the project |
@Supabase | Connect to a configured Supabase MCP server |
@Cloudflare | Connect to a configured Cloudflare MCP server |
@Firebase | Connect to a configured Firebase MCP server |
@Linear | Reference project tickets via Linear MCP |
@Vercel | Pull deployment logs via Vercel MCP |
The agent also understands two conversation modes. Select Planning for complex multi-step tasks where you want to review a plan before execution. Use Fast for quick edits and single-step operations.

3. MCP Quick Commands
Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers give the agent real-time access to your databases, deployment platforms, and external APIs. Once configured in mcp_config.json, you activate them with the @ServerName syntax above or directly in chat. Here are the most common quick-install npx commands:
Supabase MCP
npx @modelcontextprotocol/server-postgres [connection-string]Firebase MCP
npx firebase-tools@latest mcp --only firestore,auth,storagen8n MCP
npx n8n-mcpPlaywright MCP
npx @playwright/mcp@latestFilesystem MCP
npx @modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem [path]GitHub MCP
npx @modelcontextprotocol/server-githubAccess the MCP configuration at any time via the "..." (More Options) menu inside the Agent panel → Manage MCP Servers. For a full walkthrough, see the Antigravity MCP tutorial.
4. Terminal Shortcuts

7. Git Shortcuts
Antigravity integrates tightly with Git. The agent can auto-generate commit messages and you can wire up one-keystroke stage-commit-push workflows. Here are the built-in shortcuts:

Cmd+Enter as a custom keybinding to trigger stage + AI-commit + sync in one step via your keybindings.json.8. Workflow Shortcuts
Workflows are saved prompt templates you invoke with a / prefix directly in the agent chat. They compress multi-step instructions into a single command. For the full library, see the Workflows guide.
| Slash Command | What it triggers |
|---|---|
/generate-unit-tests | Generate unit tests for the current file or selection |
/fix-errors | Send all Problems panel errors to the agent for batch fixing |
/explain | Explain the selected code block in plain English |
/refactor | Refactor the selection for readability and performance |
/document | Add JSDoc / docstring comments to selected functions |
/deploy | Trigger a custom deployment workflow (if configured) |
/<your-workflow> | Any custom workflow saved in your Antigravity workspace |
9. agy CLI (Antigravity 2.x Terminal Agent)
Everything above lives in the Antigravity IDE. But Google sunset the standalone Gemini CLI for individuals on June 18, 2026, and the terminal-first workflow now runs through agy — the Antigravity CLI that ships with Antigravity 2.x. It is the same agent that powers the IDE, driven from your shell for scripts, CI jobs, and headless one-shots. If you carried Gemini CLI muscle memory, run agy plugin import gemini once to migrate your config and MCP servers across.
Model availability: agy routes only to Google-hosted models — Gemini 3.5 Flash, Gemini 3.1 Pro, Gemini 3 Flash, Claude Sonnet 4.6, Claude Opus 4.6, and gpt-oss-120b (via Vertex AI Model Garden). There is no BYOK or local-model support; switch between the hosted options with the --model flag or the in-session /model command.
Shell commands & flags
Run these from your terminal to start, script, or manage agy sessions.
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
agy | Start an interactive TUI session in the current directory |
agy "prompt" | Start a session seeded with an opening prompt |
agy -p "prompt" | Non-interactive one-shot (--print): run the prompt, print the result, exit — for scripts and CI |
agy -m <model> | Pick the hosted model for this run (--model), e.g. a Gemini 3 or Claude 4.6 option |
agy -c | Resume your most recent conversation (--continue) |
agy --conversation <id> | Resume a specific conversation by ID |
agy --dangerously-skip-permissions | Auto-approve every tool call (YOLO mode) — trusted or sandboxed repos only |
agy plugin import gemini | Migrate settings and MCP servers from the sunset Gemini CLI |
agy update | Update agy to the latest release |
In-session slash commands
Type / inside a running agy session to open the command menu. These exist only inside the TUI, not on the shell wrapper.
| Slash Command | What it does |
|---|---|
/model | Switch the hosted model mid-session |
/permissions | Change the permission preset (review each call vs. always-proceed) |
/plan | Enter plan mode — replaced the legacy /planning; /fast was removed in v1.1.0 |
/agents | Review and manage subagents |
/mcp | Manage MCP servers for the session |
/skills | Browse loaded Agent Skills |
/resume | Load a previous conversation thread |
/clear | Reset the conversation context |
Shift+Tab. And be careful with -p: in non-interactive mode agy auto-approves tool calls — including file writes — so never pipe untrusted input into an agy -p run.10. Quick Reference Table — All Shortcuts
