Keyboard shortcuts

The Shortcuts settings panel lists all 150 customizable commands and lets you assign your own keyboard shortcuts. The same editor is also available in a standalone dialog.

For the full list of defaults, see Hotkeys reference.

Where to find it

• Open Settings → Shortcuts to edit shortcuts alongside other preferences.
• Open Preferences → Edit Hotkeys to use the standalone editor.

What you see

• Search bar at the top, which filters by command label, group, id, or shortcut.
• Command list: one row per command. Each row shows:
  • Command label and group.
  • Current hotkey and default hotkey.
  • A Custom marker when the current hotkey differs from the default.
  • Assign button, start capturing a new hotkey.
  • Reset button, restore that command to its default.
• Reset All button beside the search field.

Buttons

• Assign: capture a new shortcut for one command.
• Reset: restore one customized shortcut to its default.
• Reset All: restore every customized shortcut to its default.
• Cancel: discard draft changes.
• Save: persist the draft. In the main Settings dialog, this button saves changes from every tab.

Capture mode

Click Assign on a command. The button becomes Press Keys. The dialog now listens for a key combination:

1. Press your desired key combination (e.g. Ctrl+Shift+Y).
2. The capture stops on the first non-modifier key.
3. If the combination conflicts with a reserved hotkey or another command or macro, an error appears.
4. If valid, the new binding is recorded in the current settings draft.

Reserved combinations cannot be captured.

Notes

• The editor includes customizable commands that have no shortcut by default, so you can assign them one.
• Conflicts against existing macros (from the Macros panel) are also detected. You cannot give a command a shortcut already used by a macro.
• Edits are draft until you click Save. Cancel discards them.
• The Settings version keeps shortcut changes in the same draft as edits on the other Settings tabs.
