General Assumptions
The meta key.
The cmd key was introduced to make the shortcuts consistent across
platforms. It is defined as command on macOS, and as ctrl
on Windows and Linux.
Keyboard-only Workflow
The GUI and all shortcuts were designed in a way to allow both efficient
mouse-only as well as keyboard-only workflows. In most cases, there is a
relation between mouse and keyboard shortcuts, namely, the left-mouse-button
corresponds to enter. For example, stepping into a node is done by either
double clicking the node, or just pressing the enter key.
Missing / not working shortcuts
Some of the shortcuts presented below are marked with the ⚠️ icon, which
means, that they are planned, but not yet implemented. Feel free to contribute
and help us implement them!
Shortcuts marked with the ‼️ icon should work, but are reported to be
broken and require further investigation.
