Platform Notes
- Mac: Replace Ctrl with Cmd for all shortcuts.
- Browser shortcuts: Some browser shortcuts (like Ctrl+Shift+I for DevTools) take priority over editor shortcuts. This is normal and can't be changed.
- Customization: Keyboard shortcuts are not currently customizable. We're considering this for a future update.
