# dev.cliShortcuts

- **Type:**

```ts
type CliShortcuts =
  | boolean
  | {
      help?: boolean | string;
      custom?: (shortcuts: CliShortcut[]) => CliShortcut[];
    };
```

- **Default:** `true` when using Rsbuild CLI, `false` otherwise.

Whether to enable CLI shortcuts.

## All shortcuts

Press `h + Enter` to show all shortcuts:

```
  Shortcuts:
  c + enter  clear console
  o + enter  open in browser
  q + enter  quit process
  r + enter  restart server
  u + enter  show urls
```

## Example

- Enable:

```ts title="rsbuild.config.ts"
export default {
  dev: {
    cliShortcuts: true,
  },
};
```

- Disable:

```ts title="rsbuild.config.ts"
export default {
  dev: {
    cliShortcuts: false,
  },
};
```

## Custom shortcuts

The `custom` option can be used to customize shortcuts. Its value is a function that receives the default shortcuts array and returns a new shortcuts array.

- Add custom shortcuts:

```ts title="rsbuild.config.ts"
export default {
  dev: {
    cliShortcuts: {
      custom: (shortcuts) => {
        return [
          ...shortcuts,
          {
            key: 's',
            description: 'say hello',
            action: () => {
              console.log('hello world!');
            },
          },
        ];
      },
    },
  },
};
```

- Disable some shortcuts:

```ts title="rsbuild.config.ts"
export default {
  dev: {
    cliShortcuts: {
      custom: (shortcuts) => {
        return shortcuts.filter((shortcut) => shortcut.key !== 'o');
      },
    },
  },
};
```

## Print help

`help` option can be used to control whether to print the help hint when the server is started, the default help hint is:

```bash
  ➜ press h + enter to show shortcuts
```

- Disable the help hint:

```ts title="rsbuild.config.ts"
export default {
  dev: {
    cliShortcuts: {
      help: false,
    },
  },
};
```

- Print a custom help hint:

```ts title="rsbuild.config.ts"
export default {
  dev: {
    cliShortcuts: {
      help: 'type "h + enter" to view available commands',
    },
  },
};
```
