Keyboard Shortcuts
Keyboard shortcuts for global navigation, the editor, and the debugger. Once they become muscle memory, they noticeably speed up daily work.
A large part of a skilled user's efficiency comes from shortcut keys. This list is divided into three levels from "must remember" to "occasionally used". After each shortcut key is written "what it saves you".
Shortcut Key Notation Conventions
- Cmd Is ⌘ on Mac; corresponding on Windows / Linux Ctrl.
- Alt On Mac it's ⌥; on Windows/Linux it's Alt.
