How these are registered

Shortcuts come from the application's native menu rather than being captured by the page, which means they behave like shortcuts in any other app on your system: they show next to their menu item, they respect your platform's conventions, and the OS resolves conflicts rather than the app swallowing them.

The editing bindings — undo, copy, paste and friends — are the standard system ones. VeraTracer does not override them.

If you only learn one

Make it the command palette. Every action listed here is in it, searchable by name, so it works as a lookup table for the rest of this page.

For where these controls actually live in the window, see the interface tour.
