Keyboard shortcuts

Every default keyboard shortcut, by area, for Windows, Linux and macOS.

These are the default shortcuts. Change them in Edit › Preferences › Keymap: select an action, then add, remove or reset its shortcuts (up to three extra shortcuts per action). A shortcut used by another action is still added; the other actions are listed so you can resolve the conflict. The keymap can be exported to an XML file and imported on another machine.

On macOS, Ctrl in menus becomes ⌘. Some actions share a key in different places (for example Del drops the collection, database or index selected in the connection tree): the focused panel decides which one runs.
