### Linked issue Closes #4821 ### Type of change - [x] Bug fix ### Reasoning A key sequence recorded in Settings, for example `Ctrl+K` then `J`, silently did nothing whenever the app re-rendered between the two keys. Resizing the window, toggling the sidebar, or an agent turn starting or finishing is enough, so a rebound sequence looks broken at random and the second key lands in the composer as text. The global `keydown`/`keyup`/`blur`/`visibilitychange` listeners, and on desktop the `browser-shortcut-input` subscription, were registered by an effect that depended on eighteen render-scoped values. One of them, `useActiveWorkspaceSelection()`, returns a new object every render, so the effect tore down and re-subscribed on every render of `AppContainer`. Its cleanup resets the in-progress sequence, so the second key was resolved from step 0, matched nothing, and fell through as ordinary input. The key handlers now read the latest render through `useStableEvent`, so the listener effect re-subscribes only when shortcuts are enabled or disabled. Clearing held badge modifiers when the workspace-index jump binding changes moved to its own effect keyed on that modifier. The cleanup still resets the sequence, which is now correct, because it only runs when shortcuts genuinely go away. ### Goals - A recorded key sequence completes across a root re-render between its keys. - The global shortcut listeners are registered once while shortcuts are enabled, instead of on every render. - A regression spec that fails on the current `main` and passes with this change. ### Non-goals - `useActiveWorkspaceSelection()` still returns a new object per render. This PR stops the shortcut listeners from depending on that identity, it does not change the hook. - A sequence whose second step also carries a modifier (`Ctrl+K` `Ctrl+J`) is still cancelled when the modifier is re-pressed, because the bare `Ctrl` keydown does not match the next step. That is a separate defect and is not fixed here. - The Electron `browser-shortcut-input` path is unchanged in shape and was not exercised in a desktop build. ### QA New spec `packages/app/e2e/browser/keyboard-shortcut-sequence.spec.ts`. It seeds `Ctrl+K J` as the "Toggle command center" binding, opens a workspace, and presses the sequence twice: once with nothing in between, once with a viewport resize settled over two frames between the keys. Before, on `main`, run twice: ``` ✘ multi-key shortcut sequences › a sequence completes when the window resizes between its keys expect(getByTestId('command-center-panel')).toBeVisible() failed ``` The control assertion in the same test passed both times, so the sequence itself works and only the re-render breaks it. Instrumenting the hook locally showed the mechanism directly: ``` key Control -> chord step 0 key K -> chord step 1 effect cleanup at chord step 1 <- the resize re-render effect setup; changed deps: activeWorkspaceSelection key j -> chord step 0, match null ``` After, the same spec passes, and `activeWorkspaceSelection` was the only dependency that changed on those renders. Also run locally on this branch: - `packages/app` unit suite: 603 files, 5319 tests, all passing. - Playwright `browser` project, keyboard and command-center specs: `keyboard-shortcut-sequence`, `empty-pane-keyboard`, `changes-shortcut-placement`, `sidebar-workspace-pin-shortcut`, `workspace-archive-shortcut`, `command-center-agent-controls`. 17 passed. - `npm run typecheck --workspace=@getpaseo/app`, `oxlint`, and `oxfmt --check` on the changed files: clean. Web only, in Chromium on Linux. Keyboard shortcuts are off on mobile, and the desktop build was not exercised. ### Supersedes - [PR #4834 — fix(app): keep multi-key shortcuts alive across root re-renders](https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo/pull/4834) — same fix for the same bug. I diagnosed #4821 independently, reached the same cause, and built on that commit, so its author is credited with a `Co-authored-by` trailer. This PR replaces its spec with one that drives the app through the keyboard only, without patching `window.addEventListener` to count registrations. ### Checklist - [x] One focused change - [x] `npm run typecheck` passes - [x] `npm run lint` passes - [x] `npm run format` passes - [x] QA evidence - [x] Tests added or updated where it made sense Co-authored-by: Ivan Malison <IvanMalison@gmail.com>
Paseo
One interface for Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, OpenCode, and Pi agents.
Run agents in parallel on your own machines. Ship from your phone or your desk.
- Self-hosted: Agents run on your machine with your full dev environment. Use your tools, your configs, and your skills.
- Multi-provider: Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, OpenCode, and Pi through the same interface. Pick the right model for each job.
- Voice control: Dictate tasks or talk through problems in voice mode. Hands-free when you need it.
- Cross-device: iOS, Android, desktop, web, and CLI. Start work at your desk, check in from your phone, script it from the terminal.
- Privacy-first: Paseo doesn't have any telemetry, tracking, or forced log-ins.
Plugins
Add themes, workspace panels, commands, settings screens, and coding-agent providers with trusted
TypeScript plugins. Install from npm, Git, or a local directory with paseo plugin install <source>.
Start with the plugin quickstart. Plugins run with access to your daemon machine and inside connected clients; install only code you trust.
Getting Started
Paseo runs a local server called the daemon that manages your coding agents. Clients like the desktop app, mobile app, web app, and CLI connect to it.
Prerequisites
You need at least one agent CLI installed and configured with your credentials:
Desktop app (recommended)
Download it from paseo.sh/download or the GitHub releases page. Open the app and the daemon starts automatically. Nothing else to install.
To connect from your phone, open Settings → your host → Pair Device.
CLI / headless
Install the CLI and start Paseo:
npm install -g @getpaseo/cli
paseo
Paseo starts locally, then asks whether to enable the end-to-end encrypted relay for device pairing. If you decline, connect directly over TCP, Tailscale, or another VPN. This path is useful for servers and remote machines.
For full setup and configuration, see:
Docker
Run the Paseo daemon and self-hosted web UI in Docker:
docker run -d --name paseo \
-p 6767:6767 \
-e PASEO_PASSWORD=change-me \
-v "$PWD/paseo-home:/home/paseo" \
-v "$PWD:/workspace" \
ghcr.io/getpaseo/paseo:latest
Open http://localhost:6767 after it starts. Extend the base image with the agent CLIs you use, then provide credentials through environment variables or the persistent /home/paseo volume. See the Docker documentation for full setup details.
CLI
Everything you can do in the app, you can do from the terminal.
paseo run --provider claude/opus-4.6 "implement user authentication"
paseo run --provider codex/gpt-5.5 --worktree feature-x "implement feature X"
paseo ls # list running agents
paseo attach abc123 # stream live output
paseo send abc123 "also add tests" # follow-up task
# run on a remote daemon; --cwd is a path on that host
paseo run --host workstation.local:6767 --cwd /workspace "run the full test suite"
See the full CLI reference for more.
TypeScript SDK
Build issue integrations, dashboards, and orchestration services with @getpaseo/client:
import { createPaseoClient } from "@getpaseo/client";
const client = createPaseoClient({ url: "ws://127.0.0.1:6767/ws" });
await client.connect();
const agent = await client.agents.create({
config: { provider: "codex/gpt-5.5" },
cwd: "/Users/me/dev/storefront",
prompt: "Review the current diff and name the riskiest change.",
});
const result = await agent.waitForFinish();
console.log(result.lastMessage);
await client.close();
See the SDK quickstart, recipes, and API reference.
Skills
Skills teach your agent to use Paseo to orchestrate other agents.
npx skills add getpaseo/paseo
Then use them in any agent conversation:
/paseo-handoff— hand off work between agents. I use this to plan with Claude and then handoff to Codex to implement./paseo-advisor— spin up a single agent as an advisor for a second opinion, without delegating the work itself./paseo-committee— form a committee of two contrasting agents to step back, do root cause analysis, and produce a plan.
Development
Quick monorepo package map:
packages/server: Paseo daemon (agent process orchestration, WebSocket API, MCP server)packages/app: Expo client (iOS, Android, web)packages/cli:paseoCLI for daemon and agent workflowspackages/desktop: Electron desktop apppackages/relay: Relay transport and encryption used by the daemon and clientspackages/website: Marketing site and documentation (paseo.sh)

# run all local dev services
npm run dev
# run individual surfaces
npm run dev:server
npm run dev:app
npm run dev:desktop
