Settings → Editor & files shows the full, live shortcut list for your keymap and lets you switch presets. This page covers the shortcuts that hold across every preset; treat the in-app list as the source of truth for anything not covered here.

Keymap presets
Miton ships three fixed keymap presets, plus a reserved custom slot, chosen in Settings → Editor & files:
| Preset | Notable differences from the default |
|---|---|
| VS Code | Default. The Essentials table above matches this preset. |
| JetBrains | Command palette is Cmd+Shift+A (takes over the Agent dashboard chord above); toggle file outline is Cmd+7. |
| Sublime | Command palette is Cmd+P; toggle file outline is Cmd+R. |
| Custom | Reserved for a future per-key remapping surface — not available yet. |
Switching the preset changes the whole chord set at once. Remapping an individual shortcut is not available yet; pick the preset closest to what you want in the meantime.
What this page does not cover
- Per-surface shortcuts inside Writer, Canvas, and Automation — these depend on what is focused and on the active keymap preset. Settings → Editor & files is the live, current list; treat a fixed table here as likely to go stale.
- Per-key remapping — see Keymap presets above.
