Keyboard shortcuts
Every built-in shortcut in the palette and its screens, in one place.
These shortcuts are built in and can't be changed. For shortcuts you record yourself, see
Hotkeys.
Letter shortcuts follow your ASCII keyboard layout even while a non-Latin input source is active.
Dvorak and other ASCII layouts keep their own letter positions. Number shortcuts use the physical
number row. See the palette for input-method behavior.
