Keyboard shortcuts

Every command is in the command palette: press Ctrl-K (⌘-K on a Mac), type a few letters of what you want, press Enter. The palette shows each command’s shortcut, so it is also the way to learn them. F1 shows this list inside the app.

On macOS read ⌘ for Ctrl and ⌥ (Option) for Alt.
