Press ⌘/ in the editor for this list in a panel — and to change
any of it. Click a shortcut in that panel, press the new keys, and it is set
everywhere at once: menus, tooltips, the command palette. Delete removes a
shortcut; Escape keeps the old one; a key already in use swaps with the
action that had it. A changed row shows ↺ to restore its default, and
Reset All in the footer puts everything back. The recording hotkeys at
the bottom of the panel can be changed the same way — they need ⌘,
⌥ or ⌃ held, since they work in every app.
The keys below are the defaults.
