Keyboard Shortcuts
Every shortcut in Folio Writer, grouped the way the menu bar is. 132 assignments in all. Hit Print and choose Landscape for a one-page desk reference — the columns and sizing are tuned for it.
None of them collides with a key macOS keeps for itself: the Services shortcuts that ship switched on (⇧ ⌘ L Search With Google, ⇧ ⌘ M Open man Page, ⇧ ⌘ Y Sticky Note, ⇧ ⌘ B Send to Bluetooth, ⌃ ⌥ ⌘ C Convert to Simplified Chinese) and the Accessibility zoom keys (⌥ ⌘ 8 and friends) are left alone, so a Folio shortcut is never swallowed by the system.
