# Shortcut Quick Reference

Tydora comes with 40+ keyboard shortcuts. The table below shows the **default configuration**. All shortcuts can be viewed, modified, or reset to defaults in [[07-Settings/03-Keyboard-Shortcuts]].

> [!NOTE]
> In the tables, `Ctrl` corresponds to `Cmd` (⌘) on macOS. Some combinations use `Ctrl+Alt+Number` — use the main keyboard number row directly; a numeric keypad is not required.

## Notes on Shortcut Conflicts

> [!WARNING]
> Due to historical reasons, some default shortcuts overlap. At runtime, **global shortcuts** take precedence:
> - `Ctrl+O` is bound to both "Ordered List" and "Quick Open File". At runtime, **Quick Open takes priority**, so `Ctrl+O` opens files rather than inserting an ordered list. If you frequently use the ordered list shortcut, consider reassigning "Ordered List" to a non-conflicting combination in [[07-Settings/03-Keyboard-Shortcuts]].
>
> All shortcuts can be customized in Settings and take effect immediately after assignment.

## Customizing Shortcuts

1. Press `Ctrl+,` to open Settings.
2. Switch to the "Shortcuts" tab.
3. Find the target command in the list and click the current shortcut combination.
4. Press the new key combination and save.

> See [[07-Settings/03-Keyboard-Shortcuts]] for details.
