Customizing Shortcuts

Currently, GitHub Commander does not support custom keyboard shortcuts. This feature may be added in future versions.

Tips for Using Shortcuts

1. Memorize frequently used shortcuts - Focus on the ones you use most
2. Use navigation shortcuts - Alt+number keys for quick panel switching
3. Combine with mouse - Use shortcuts for common actions, mouse for navigation
4. Practice makes perfect - Regular use builds muscle memory

Missing Shortcuts

If you find a shortcut missing that would be useful:

1. Check if the action exists in the menu
2. Consider opening an issue on GitHub
3. The feature may be added in future releases

Platform Differences

These shortcuts are designed for Linux. On other platforms:

• macOS: Replace Ctrl with Cmd (⌘)
• Windows: Shortcuts should work as listed

Note: GitHub Commander is currently Linux-only.
