These work in the Terminal window where npx proto start is running — not in the Claude Code window.
| Press | When to use it |
|---|---|
| r | Reload the app in the Simulator after something looks stuck |
| i | Open the Simulator if you closed it, or if it did not open automatically |
Click that Terminal window first so it is focused, then press the key. You do not type anything else — just R or i.
⌘R in the Simulator records a screen video — see Simulator. R in the Prototo window reloads your app. Click the right window first.
If i does not bring the Simulator back, make sure Xcode is installed (see Prerequisites). You can also run proto reset in your project folder — see Troubleshooting.
