Keyboard shortcuts¶
This page lists every key Moshe knows. They're the usual keys of a Mac writing app, so your hands may already know most of these, and they work the same in a browser, in the Mac app and on Android with a keyboard. Outside the Mac, Ctrl takes the place of ⌘, and the few keys with both ⌃ and ⌘ are for the Mac.
