Keyboard Shortcuts
A grouped reference of every default keyboard shortcut. Most shortcuts listed here are rebindable — open Settings → Shortcuts to reassign any action to a different key or chord. (The Live Override shortcuts at the bottom are the exception; they are fixed.)
On macOS Cmd is the Command key. On Windows, Cmd means Ctrl.
