Keyboard shortcuts
Keyboard shortcuts
The built-in bindings on Windows, grouped the way the in-app shortcuts dialog groups them. Every one is rebindable: open the dialog with ?, click a shortcut and press the new keys.
On Windows the primary modifier is Ctrl. Some actions list a second binding — either works. A few Design shortcuts start unbound; add your own in the dialog.
