All keyboard shortcuts
Every keyboard shortcut in NewTwos, in one place.
Rebinding
Every shortcut on this page can be changed, and a few ship with no keys attached on purpose. Set your own in Settings, Help and about, Keyboard shortcuts.
A note on why some are unassigned: a chord that looks free often is not. Select and extend, for example, ships unbound because the obvious choice collides with the system shortcut for selecting text to the top of a thing. Rather than silently break text editing, NewTwos leaves it to you.

Tips
- Learn three, not thirty. Capture, search, and complete cover most of a day.
- Shortcuts that act on a thing are skipped while your cursor is inside one, so they never fight your typing. Select the thing first.
- The chords shown for Windows and Linux fold Command into Control, because off a Mac they are the same physical key.
