Mac Keyboard Shortcuts
The keys your fingers know from macOS.
nightdrive plugins install keydThe text keys your fingers know from macOS, in every app, and Finder's keys in Files.
| Keys | What they do |
|---|---|
| ⌥⌫ | Deletes the word before the cursor |
| ⌘⌫ | Deletes to the start of the line; in Files, moves to the trash; in Thunderbird, deletes the message |
| ⌘, | Opens the app's settings (Ctrl+,), not in the terminal; 1Password's Settings window comes up even when it is already open |
| Enter in Files | Renames the selected file, as in Finder (F2 too) |
| ⌘O in Files | Opens the selected file |
keyd turns the text keys into real key presses before they reach the desktop, so they work the same everywhere and never get stuck repeating. They take effect from the next login, the Files keys when Files next starts.
If the keyboard ever stops working, press Backspace, Escape and Enter together: that stops keyd.
