Keyboard

The default chords, and how to change one.

The commands without a chord are reachable from the menu. ⌘N is the session, and three more New chords would spend letters you may want for your own. ⌘W closes a tab in a space.

Changing one

Settings › Shortcuts records a chord rather than taking it typed, so what lands in the file is what the keyboard actually sends. While a row is recording the app answers to nothing at all.

The same keys can be written by hand under [shortcuts], using the command key from the table above:

[shortcuts]
new_article = "cmd-shift-n"

Activate

One key on that page is not a command. activate is registered with macOS and brings Cydonia forward from inside whatever else you are using:

[shortcuts]
activate = "alt-space"

A key claimed across the whole desktop is one to be asked for, so a fresh install claims none.

Emacs movement

[shortcuts]
emacs = true

Adds ⌥B and ⌥F word movement, and ⌥D word deletion, in every text field.
