Keyboard reference

One comprehensive list of every keyboard shortcut in Glyph, grouped the same way the in-app cheat sheet is. Individual sections above call out the shortcuts most relevant to that feature, but this table is the authoritative one — it's transcribed straight from src/app/actions.ts's action registry and its CONTEXT_KEYS list, the same single source of truth the cheat sheet (?) generates itself from. The two are guaranteed to agree; if you ever spot a difference, something's stale and it's worth reporting.

Remapping shortcuts (Edit → Keyboard shortcuts…)

Most of the bindings below can be changed. Edit → Keyboard shortcuts… lists every action next to its current key; click Edit, press the new combination, and it's saved immediately. Every candidate is validated live, so a key already claimed by another action, by a context-owned key (a tool letter, Ctrl+K, …), or reserved by the browser (Ctrl+N, Ctrl+T, Ctrl+W) is rejected with the reason shown rather than silently taking over. Clear unbinds an action; Reset to defaults restores every stock binding and drops all overrides.

Presets. The dropdown at the top of the dialog offers Glyph (stock, no changes) and KLayout — a deliberately partial keymap covering only what klayout.de's own manual documents: F2 = zoom to fit, * = show full hierarchy, 0 = boxes only, 1 = top level only, + / - = step the hierarchy depth one level. Switching to KLayout unbinds F2's usual marker-step rather than guessing it a new home — step through markers via Verify → Next violation / View → Markers → Previous marker, or the command palette, instead. Switching presets clears any personal overrides you've made.

What can't be remapped. Around 26 actions are wired directly into the canvas or toolbar code rather than resolved through the shortcut registry, and the dialog lists them read-only with the module that owns each key. The context-sensitive gestures in the tables below (tool letters, [/], the boolean letters, drag/click modifiers, and the rest) aren't actions at all, so they don't appear in the dialog to edit — only in these reference tables.

Every menu item that has no key listed above — and every cell/panel action — is still one Ctrl+K away: the command palette fuzzy-searches every label and shows each result's shortcut inline, so it also doubles as a way to learn this table.
