Can't get to many of the settings on linux without opening it, and can't
know the default keystroke to get to it without knowing where to look
first, so its a chicken-n-egg problem of needing to use a
default-keystroke to set the key bindings, esp on linux.

## Command Palette
The Command Palette is the main way to access functionality in Zed, and its keybinding is the first one you should make yourself familiar with.
On macOS, use `⌘-P` (`cmd-shift-p`) to open the Command Palette.
On Linux, use `⌃-P` (`ctrl-shift-p`) to open the Command Palette.
The Command Palette allows you to access pretty much any functionality that's available in Zed.

Try it! Open the Command Palette and type in `new file`. You should see the list of commands being filtered down to `workspace: new file`. Hit return and you end up with a new buffer!
Any time you see instructions that include commands of the form `zed: ...` or `editor: ...` and so on that means you need to execute them in the Command Palette.
## Configure Zed
Use `⌘` + `,` to open your custom settings to set things like fonts, formatting settings, per-language settings, and more. You can access the default configuration using the `Zed > Settings > Open Default Settings` menu item. See [Configuring Zed](./configuring-zed.md) for all available settings.

## Set up your key bindings
You can access the default key binding set using the `Zed > Settings > Open Default Key Bindings` menu item. Use `⌘` + `K`, `⌘` + `S` to open your custom keymap to add your key bindings. See Key Bindings for more info.
