Keyboard shortcuts

Every key Fennick knows, on a Mac and on Windows.

Fennick uses the keys people already know from Notion, then Tana. On Windows and Linux, Ctrl takes the place of ⌘ and Alt takes the place of ⌥.

On keyboards with an AltGr key, Ctrl+Alt types letters such as # and @, so Fennick never reads it as a shortcut. Use the / menu or the command menu instead.
