Keyboard shortcuts

Every shortcut in Apiboo, per platform.

This page lists every keyboard shortcut in Apiboo. Where a shortcut differs, the Mac keys have their own column: Ctrl on Windows and Linux is usually ⌘ on a Mac.

Change your shortcuts

Open Settings → Keyboard to see the shortcuts grouped as Base, DB Manager and Terminal.

Click Edit next to a shortcut.
Press the new keys ("Press keys…"). A shortcut needs Ctrl/⌘ or Alt, so plain typing is never taken. Esc cancels.
If another command already used those keys, it is unbound and the row says so ("Unbound from …"). A command without keys shows Not set.

Reset to default restores one shortcut, Reset all restores every one. Only the shortcuts in the first table below can be changed; all others are fixed.

Settings → Keyboard with the Base, DB Manager and Terminal groups, one row recording new keys
