Platform note

On macOS, use ⌘ (Command) in place of Ctrl. A few combinations vary slightly by operating system — when in doubt, open the shortcuts panel and check.

Turning shortcuts off

If you'd rather use the mouse, you can disable key bindings entirely with the Key Bindings toggle in the shortcuts panel.
