Keyboard shortcut reference

Using these defaults #

These are the factory defaults in the shortcut catalog. Custom bindings take precedence. Open Settings > Keys to see the effective binding and key names for your platform, change a binding, or reset it.

A registered shortcut can depend on the active editor, focus, selection, and existing add-on requirements. Use the relevant workflow chapter for the action itself. Unassigned means the catalog supplies no default key; it does not establish that there is no separate control or keyboard route.

This draft indexes 141 actions from the shortcut catalog. Some entries have no connected editor shortcut route in the reviewed source. Runtime acceptance for each action and keyboard layout remains unverified.
