Antigravity keypad: MX Keypad shortcuts and Orbtile status pad

You can use a keypad with Google Antigravity in two ways. The first is a manual profile in Logi Options+ that maps Antigravity App, agy CLI and IDE shortcuts to a Logitech MX Keypad or MX Creative Console. Logitech's MX Keypad page does not list Antigravity, so you build this profile yourself. The second is Orbtile, which shows Antigravity desktop app conversations on a Logitech MX Creative Keypad or a phone, and lets you answer multiple-choice questions from the keys.

Two ways to use a keypad with Google Antigravity

Logitech sells the MX Keypad in its Master Series for $99.99, in Graphite. It has customisable LCD keys and works through the Logi Options+ app. It has native integrations for VS Code and IntelliJ. It can also run prompt macros, refactor code and launch voice commands across GitHub Copilot, Claude Code and OpenAI Codex. Those AI controls need an internet connection and an account with each AI provider. The keypad detects your active app and swaps tools as you move between VS Code, Slack, Figma and more.

Google Antigravity is not among the tools on Logitech's MX Keypad page. To use the keypad with Antigravity, create a manual shortcut profile in Logi Options+, or watch conversations with Orbtile.

Logi Options+ requirements and manual profile setup

Logitech's requirements for the MX Creative Console and MX Keypad:

• Software: the MX Keypad needs Logi Options+ 2.07 or later, and the MX Creative Console needs 1.83 or later.
• The Logi Plugin Service powers the plugins and Marketplace, and it starts only when one of these devices is connected.
• Without Logi Options+, the MX Keypad cannot be used, and the Console dialpad keeps only a very limited set of basic actions.
• OS: Windows 10 or later and macOS 13 or later are supported, but Windows systems with ARM 64 processors are not.
• Languages: Options+ supports 19 languages, while the Console and Keypad configurator supports six.
• The six are English, French, German, Japanese, Italian and Spanish, set from the gear icon at the top right of the home page.
• The default profile and every action in the pre-installed SYSTEM plugin work without signing in.
• A Logi ID is needed to download other plugins or install other application profiles.
• You are asked to sign in during the Device Feature tour, when you click INSTALL in the Marketplace, or when you add an application profile.
• From Options+ 1.99, every plugin on the official Logitech Marketplace goes through a security review.
• Third-party plugins from other sources trigger a security notification about unverified software.

Create an Application Profile for Google Antigravity

Logitech's support page explains how to set up a profile by hand for an app that has no plugin:

• Click the + icon in the profile bar and choose APPLICATION PROFILE.
• Apps with plugin support are listed at the top.
• Select your Antigravity app, editor or terminal, or click ADD APPLICATION at the bottom to add it manually.
• Click START WITH A BLANK TEMPLATE, name the profile and click CONFIRM.

Map keyboard shortcuts and dial adjustments with the System plugin

Assign shortcuts inside your blank profile using the pre-installed SYSTEM plugin:

• Click ALL ACTIONS in the right panel and select the SYSTEM plugin.
• Drag KEYBOARD SHORTCUT, under the KEYBOARD category, onto a key.
• Click the KEY field, press your Antigravity shortcut, optionally name the action and click Save.
• On the MX Creative Console dialpad, drag DIAL ADJUSTMENT, under ADVANCED, onto the dial.
• Pick an optional initial shortcut that runs before the adjustment.
• Then set a separate shortcut for each turning direction.

See The Logitech MX Keypad for developers, with and without Options+ and Logi Options+ alternative for the MX Keypad.

Google Antigravity surfaces and where to point your profile

Point your Logi Options+ profile at the application you use for each Antigravity surface:

How workspaces and modes work in the Antigravity App and CLI

On first launch of the Antigravity App, you choose a role: Software Engineering, Knowledge Work, Data & Analytics, Science, Design or Other. For personal accounts from v2.30.0, this sets the interface layout. You can change it in Settings > General > Interface Layout. Software Engineering can bring over your setup from Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and Gemini CLI. Projects use Local mode or New worktree mode. Knowledge Work runs directly in folders, and you can start chatting from Home without a project.

Install the CLI (agy) on macOS, Linux or Googlebook:

curl -fsSL https://antigravity.google/cli/install.sh | bash

In Windows PowerShell:

irm https://antigravity.google/cli/install.ps1 | iex

In Windows CMD:

curl -fsSL https://antigravity.google/cli/install.cmd -o install.cmd && install.cmd && del install.cmd

Verify with agy --version. On first launch you set the colour scheme (Dark, Solarized Dark, Solarized Light or the terminal default), the rendering mode (Alt-Screen or Inline) and workspace trust.

Antigravity shortcuts and commands to map to MX Keypad keys

Record these shortcuts in Logi Options+ using KEYBOARD SHORTCUT actions.

Antigravity App and standalone Antigravity IDE shortcuts

In the standalone IDE, the Toggle Agent button in the title bar shows or hides the Agent panel. On the Console dialpad, you can map Option + ↑ / ↓ (Alt + ↑ / ↓) to a DIAL ADJUSTMENT to step through App conversations.

App slash commands:

• /goal runs the task to completion without pausing.
• /grill-me interviews you about requirements before implementing.
• /schedule runs an instruction as a one-time delayed task or a recurring cron schedule.
• /browser hands live UI testing, screenshots and web inspection to the browser subagent.
• The browser subagent uses the built-in browser on personal accounts or Google Chrome.
• /plugin manages Marketplace plugins.

See Antigravity App vs Antigravity IDE: what's the difference and Google Antigravity Agent Manager: run and review agents.

Antigravity CLI (agy) and IDE extension shortcuts and commands

Run agy to launch the interactive TUI in the current directory. Use agy -i "prompt" to start with a prompt, or agy -p "prompt" for a single non-interactive reply. In default mode, press Y to approve file creation. In auto mode, workspace edits and sandboxed commands run automatically.

CLI slash commands include /diff (review changes per turn), /agents (switch background subagents), /statusline (toggle or configure the status line) and /usage (credit consumption and quota). See Google Antigravity CLI: commands, settings and permissions.

Watch Antigravity conversations on a keypad or phone with Orbtile

Keyboard shortcuts send commands to Antigravity. Orbtile works the other way: it shows what each Antigravity desktop app conversation is doing. It drives the Logitech MX Creative Keypad without Logi Options+, and the keypad needs no account.

Orbtile runs on macOS 14.0 Sonoma or later on Apple silicon (M1 or later), and on Windows 11 (x64). Orbtile Mobile turns an iPhone (App Store, iOS 17+) or an Android phone (Android 8.0+) into the pad. Sign in with the same account on your computer and your phone. Then turn on Phone pad in Settings > Keypad on the computer.

While Orbtile is in control, your Options+ profile for the keypad pauses. To hand the keypad back, quit Orbtile, press Control-Option-Command-K (Ctrl+Alt+Win+K on Windows) or hold both page buttons for 1.5 seconds.

How Orbtile handles Google Antigravity:

• Orbtile follows conversations in the local Antigravity desktop app and shows each one's title and state.
• Antigravity uses an azure blue working palette, and from Orbtile 0.3.4 its waiting states use the shared terracotta alarm colour.
• From Orbtile 0.2.10, replies appear as live typewriter text.
• Waiting conversations come first, and a tap on key 9 focuses the first waiting session, including on other pages.
• A tap shorter than 0.6 seconds opens the conversation on your computer.
• Holding a key for 0.6 seconds or longer opens Focus mode across all nine keys.
• From Orbtile 0.2.6, questions with numbered options can be answered on the keypad.
• Keys 1, 2 and 3 show options 1 to 3, and key 7 shows option 4.
• On the last question, hold Send on key 9 for 0.6 seconds, and Sent means Antigravity acknowledged the reply.
• Up to four questions with two to four choices each are supported.
• Written answers, permissions, remote sessions and unsupported questions stay on the computer.
• If an Antigravity update changes how the app talks to Orbtile, live text and keypad answers stop until Orbtile catches up.
• Antigravity IDE and Antigravity CLI sessions do not appear automatically.

Orbtile also shows Claude Code, Codex, ZCode and Kimi Code sessions alongside Antigravity. See Antigravity notifications: CLI alerts and waiting agents, Use the Logitech MX Creative Keypad without Logi Options+ and Show any script or agent on a keypad with the Orbtile Adapter API.
