Conventions

Keyboard shortcuts are given for macOS first, followed by the Windows and Linux equivalent where it differs, for example ⌘F / Ctrl+F. When only one key is shown, it is the same on all systems.

On Mac keyboards, the function keys (F1–F12) may require holding fn, depending on your keyboard settings.

Menu commands are written as Menu → Command, for example Files → Copy.
