Keyboard shortcuts in Zetbit you probably didn't know about

After using Zetbit daily for a while I've discovered a few shortcuts that aren't documented anywhere obvious: • JSON Formatter: Ctrl+Enter (Cmd+Enter on Mac) — formats and validates instantly • JSON Formatter: Tab key while editing — inserts 2 spaces rather than jumping focus • JSON Formatter: paste anything → auto-formats immediately, no button click needed The auto-format on paste is the big one. You can literally copy a JSON string from anywhere — a terminal, a Slack message, a browser network tab — and it formats instantly the moment you paste. It feels almost magical once you get used to it. Anyone found other hidden shortcuts or tricks? Would love to build a full list.

The auto-format on paste is such a good one and I genuinely didn't notice it until now. Just tried it — paste JSON, it's already formatted. That's the kind of UX detail that makes a tool feel polished.

The Tab key for indentation is a great find — I've been tabbing out of the textarea and then clicking back in. Is there also a way to switch between the Format and Tree view tabs using the keyboard? That would complete the full no-mouse workflow.

Good list! I'd add: if you paste JSON that already has a syntax error, the formatter tells you the line number. Saves a lot of time compared to "JSON parse error" with no context.
