Keyboard shortcuts
Every shortcut in ADE. Keys follow your platform, switch with the buttons in the sidebar.
On macOS, shortcuts use ⌘. On Linux, they use Ctrl+Shift where macOS uses ⌘, and Ctrl+Alt+Shift where macOS uses ⌘⇧. Plain Ctrl keys are never taken by the app, so Ctrl+C, Ctrl+D, Ctrl+R, Ctrl+W and the rest keep working in your shell.
See them all in the app: press ⌘/ or click the keyboard icon at the top right. The list is grouped and searchable, and every command is also in the command palette with its shortcut. If you’d like a strip of shortcuts along the bottom of the window, turn on Show the shortcut bar in that list or in Settings → Terminal.
