Keyboard shortcuts
The full keymap. Most of these match conventional creative-software defaults.
Moonshine’s shortcuts try to match what you already know from creative software. If a shortcut surprises you, it’s probably wrong — let us know.
Mac uses Cmd; Windows/Linux uses Ctrl. We write it as Cmd/Ctrl below.

Customizing
Some shortcuts are configurable in Preferences → Keyboard. The defaults documented here are starting points — feel free to remap to match your studio’s muscle memory.
The defaults are sticky across operators within a session, so a custom mapping by one operator doesn’t disrupt another’s keyboard. Mappings are per-user, persisted to local browser storage.
