Keybindings

Keyboard shortcuts in Miton — cross-surface shortcuts first, then per-surface tables. macOS uses Cmd; Windows and Linux use Ctrl.

Who this is for: anyone who wants shortcuts at a glance while working.

macOS — Cmd (⌘)
Windows / Linux — Ctrl

Rebind most shortcuts in Settings → Keybindings. Universal shortcuts such as Cmd+, / Ctrl+, (open settings) stay fixed.
