Keyboard shortcuts

Every action that has a key, and the key it has until you change it: 106 actions in 10 groups. To change one, see Keyboard shortcuts in the interface part.

The keys here are the defaults. Keys you have changed are shown in the editor, in File › Keyboard shortcuts… (F1), and everywhere the editor mentions a key. Ctrl is Cmd on a Mac keyboard.

This page is generated from the editor's own tables.
