Hotkeys
Windows and Linux share the same shortcuts. On a Mac, ⌘ takes the place of Ctrl, except where the table shows a different combination because macOS already uses the usual one.
Change any shortcut in Settings > Hotkeys. Type part of a command’s name in the search box to find it, click its shortcut, and press the new combination.
