Keyboard shortcuts

On desktop (macOS, Windows, Linux), keyboard shortcuts speed up the common actions.

Two kinds of shortcuts

  • Global shortcuts work from any screen and use ⌘ Cmd (macOS) or Ctrl (Windows / Linux) — except Esc and F11.
  • Per-window shortcuts are single keys (no modifier) that act on the open window.

All shortcuts are ignored while you are typing in a text field.
