The guideKeyboard shortcuts

Keyboard shortcuts

Every binding, listed from the same place the app reads them.

The short answer

Kyurations is built to be worked from the keyboard. Command-K opens a palette that searches and runs commands, a question mark shows the same list you are reading now inside the app, and single letters act on whatever is focused. Bare keys never fire while you are typing, and they can be switched off entirely if you dictate.

How the bindings work

Shortcuts are scoped rather than global. The innermost thing that is active and has a handler wins, which is why r refreshes a focused item from its source but refreshes the whole library when nothing is focused. Neither one needs to know about the other.

Bare letters do not fire while you are typing into a field. Modifier shortcuts do, because a palette you cannot open from a search box is a palette you reach for and miss.

The same reference inside the app, on the question mark key. It is generated from the same list as this page.
Worth knowing

Bindings show here as your own machine spells them: the Command glyph on a Mac, Ctrl elsewhere.

Questions

How do I see shortcuts inside the app?
Press the question mark key. The panel it opens is built from the same registry as this page, so the two cannot disagree.
Can I turn single-key shortcuts off?
Yes, in Settings. It is there for people who use speech input, where dictation types bare letters into whatever has focus. Modifier shortcuts keep working.
Can I rebind a key?
Not today. The bindings are fixed, and the only preference is whether single-key ones fire at all.
