Keyboard shortcuts
Every global shortcut, with its default binding. All of them are remappable in Settings → Hotkeys.
Reading the table
⌘ is Command on macOS and Control on Windows and Linux. ⌥ is Option / Alt. ⇧ is Shift.

Remapping
Open Settings → Hotkeys, click the binding you want to change, and press the new combination. Every action above can be rebound.
Watch for conflicts
These are global shortcuts — they fire regardless of which app has focus. If one collides with something your OS or another app already uses, rebind it here rather than fighting the conflict mid-interview.
