Commands and slash commands
Use slash commands and keyboard shortcuts to control Vibe Code from inside the editor. A couple of VS Code commands are also available from the Command Palette for setup and debugging.
Slash commands
The extension exposes a subset of Vibe slash commands. Type / in the Vibe panel to see the available commands. Skills that opt in are surfaced in the same picker.

Keyboard shortcuts
Inside the Vibe panel, Mod means Command on macOS and Ctrl on Windows or Linux.
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
Mod+Y | Approve a tool action. |
Mod+Alt+Y | Approve an alternate tool action. |
Mod+Shift+Y | Approve and apply a broader permission choice. |
Mod+Alt+N | Reject a tool action. |
Mod+N | Start a new conversation. |
Escape | Cancel or blur the current input state. |
Shift+Tab | Cycle the active input mode. |
CLI parity
The extension doesn't expose every CLI slash command, but it still lets you control most runtime settings through the UI:
/modeland/thinkingare not available as slash commands. Change the active model or reasoning level from the extension's interface instead./resumeis not available as a slash command, but you can load previous sessions from the panel UI./renamehas a UI equivalent in the panel. Use it to rename the current session.- Use the CLI for the remaining session and runtime controls:
/rewind,/loop,/mcp,/voice.
VS Code commands
A small set of VS Code Command Palette entries is available for setup and debugging.
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
| Mistral Vibe: Open Mistral Vibe | Focuses the Mistral Vibe panel. |
| Mistral Vibe: Show Logs | Opens the extension log output. |
The extension doesn't declare default VS Code keybindings. Add custom shortcuts in keybindings.json if you want direct keyboard access to these commands.
