# Request actions

## Direct shortcuts

You can also trigger actions directly without opening the menu.

### Copy as cURL

Press `c` in the detail view to copy the request as a cURL command to your clipboard. httpmon uses OSC 52 for clipboard access, so it works over SSH sessions too.

### Repeat request

Press `r` in the detail view to replay the request. The repeated request goes through the proxy and appears as a new flow in the list.

### Open in editor

Press `e` in the detail view to open the response or request body in your external editor. httpmon uses the `$EDITOR` environment variable to determine which editor to launch.
