Keyboard shortcuts
The default key map. Every binding here is remappable in Settings - Shortcuts.
Every default binding below is registered in src/modules/shortcuts/shortcuts.ts and remappable from Settings -> Shortcuts.
Mod is Cmd on macOS, Ctrl on Linux and Windows. Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+Shift+Tab use Ctrl on every platform.
