Customize a shortcut

The symbols below describe macOS defaults. On Windows, ⌘ means Ctrl, ⌥ means Alt, ⇧ means Shift, and the extra ⌃ modifier means Win. For example, Copy Image is Ctrl+Shift+C and Instant from Anywhere is Win+Alt+Ctrl+N. The app displays the keys for your platform.

  1. Open Settings (⌘,) and choose Shortcuts.
  2. Search for a command and click its assignment to record a new one.
  3. Use the row’s reset button to restore its default. Duplicate and reserved assignments are rejected.

Settings → Shortcuts: command search, editable key assignments, reset buttons, JSON import and export
