Keyboard shortcuts for the DeepSeek Harness (DSH) Web chat composer.

Type faster, navigate history with pure keyboard. No mouse needed.


✨ Features

ShortcutAction
Arrow UpFill the composer with the previous user message from history
Arrow DownMove to the next user message; at the end, restore your original input
Ctrl+CClear the composer when no text is selected (avoids conflict with Copy)

Behavior details

  • History cycling follows shell-style semantics: press ↑ to walk backwards through your previously sent messages; press ↓ to walk forward again; at the newest end it restores whatever you had typed before you started navigating.
  • Ctrl+C only clears when the composer has content and no text is selected — if you have selected text, the browser's native Copy takes precedence.
  • Uses Ctrl+C only, identical on Windows and macOS (on macOS, Cmd+C stays the system Copy).

📦 Install

From GitHub

dsh plugin --profile web add https://github.com/kexin8/dsh-composer-keys.git

From a local checkout

git clone https://github.com/kexin8/dsh-composer-keys.git
dsh plugin --profile web add link:~/dsh-composer-keys

Via npm (when published)

npm i dsh-composer-keys
dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-composer-keys

After installing, restart the DSH Web GUI and reload the page.


🧩 How it works

A client-only plugin. It registers an invisible component in the conversation.composer.dock slot (the additive, non-destructive input-region seat), which attaches a keydown listener on document and intercepts shortcuts only while the composer textarea is focused:

  • Arrow Up/Down — reads historical user messages from the live ConversationSnapshot and fills the composer via inputActions.setDraft().
  • Ctrl+C — calls setDraft('') when the input is non-empty and nothing is selected.

No host process code, no persistence, no settings — pure client-side, stops cleanly on plugin stop/update.

🤝 Contributing

PRs are welcome! Please make sure the plugin still works in the DSH Web GUI after your change. Keep the client code plain-JavaScript (no TypeScript/JSX in the shipped lib/ output) and never add host-side logic unless the feature truly needs it.
