Keyboard Shortcuts
Note: the shortcuts have been mainly designed on Mac OS with German Apple Pro and MacBook keyboards. There may be inconsistencies with other configurations. Please report any problems and I try to fix them.
The key modifier Meta is equivalent to the Apple (or Command) key on Mac OS, and Ctrl+Shift on Linux and Windows.
