Keyboard shortcuts

A complete reference to Todebaran's default shortcuts.

Todebaran is keyboard-first: there's a shortcut for nearly everything, so you can fly through your day without the mouse. Below are the defaults.

Make them yours

Every shortcut is customizable in Settings → Shortcuts — record a new combo, reset a single one, or export and import your whole set as a file. Conflicts are flagged as you go.
