Keyboard Shortcuts

These are the defaults. Change any of them under Settings → Keyboard: click a shortcut, then press the new keys. A warning marks a chord that is used twice. Reset all restores this list.

Ctrl/Cmd means Ctrl on Linux and Windows and Cmd on macOS. Where Linux uses the Super key, the three platforms are listed separately.
