# Keyboard shortcuts

The shortcuts below mirror the in-app shortcuts panel exactly. Mac modifiers are listed first; Windows uses `Ctrl` where macOS uses `⌘`.

{% hint style="info" %}
Open the in-app shortcuts panel directly with the help icon in the top-right of the editor. The panel mirrors this page; the page is the lookup-friendly reference.

## Limits and known issues

* **Shortcuts are not customizable.** Remapping isn't exposed in the UI; the keybindings are fixed.
* **Some shortcuts may overlap with browser defaults.** `Cmd+W` will close the tab; `Cmd+R` will reload. The product avoids those, but some browsers and OS combinations have edge cases.
* **Game controller bindings** for camera control in Compose mode live on the [Camera controls](/compose/camera-controls.md) page rather than here.
