Shortcut Reference

Tydora ships 48 customizable editing shortcuts. The tables below show the default configuration. Every shortcut can be viewed, changed, or reset in 07-Settings/03-Keyboard-Shortcuts.

Note

In these tables, Ctrl corresponds to Cmd (⌘) on macOS.

A Note on Overlapping Shortcuts

The default configuration contains two kinds of overlap, resolved by context at runtime:
  • Ctrl+-: with focus inside a table it deletes a row; outside a table it splits vertically.
  • Ctrl+E / Ctrl+D / Ctrl+U and similar: with 02-Editor/11-Vim-Mode enabled, they are handed to Vim by default in normal / visual mode, so the same-named app shortcut does not fire; you can change each back on the "Vim Mode" settings page.

All customizable shortcuts can be changed in Settings, taking effect as soon as they are assigned.
