Keyboard shortcuts

In the tables, Mod is ⌘ on macOS and Ctrl on Windows and Linux. Alt is ⌥ Option on macOS. Ctrl means the Control key on every OS.

Changing shortcuts

Open Settings → Interface → Keyboard shortcuts. Click a key, press the new keys, or reset it to the default. A shortcut that is reserved or already in use is refused.

Shortcuts marked fixed below cannot be changed.

While a terminal has focus

  • macOS: every shortcut works while a terminal has focus.
  • Windows and Linux: a shortcut does nothing while a terminal has focus, unless it is marked works in terminal below. The terminal gets the keys instead.
