SuperShell: TUI Vault Browser

Keeper vault TUI available in Keeper Commander

Overview

Keeper SuperShell is a full-screen Terminal User Interface (TUI) for managing your Keeper vault and executing commands in a graphical shell. It provides a keyboard-driven (vim) style navigation, optimized for power users and developers.

Requires Commander version 17.2.2 or newer

Getting Started

Launch SuperShell with supershell or ss command:

keeper supershell

If you're already in the Keeper shell, simply type:

supershell

Feature Overview

SuperShell displays a split-pane interface:

• Top pane - Search input, account info, and device status

• Left pane - Folder tree with nested folders and records

• Right pane - Folder and Record details (normal or JSON view)

• Bottom pane - Command shell and terminal output, use Ctrl+\ to show/hide

Keyboard Navigation

SuperShell supports vi-style keyboard navigation for efficient usage over SSH sessions or within any standard system terminal. All functionality can be accomplished without taking your hands off the keyboard. For example, the j and k keys navigate up and down, and tab switches between the search, folder tree and detail panes. When a pane is selected, vi commands can be used to control scrolling. The shortcuts are listed below.
