Limits
- Single-key shortcuts, such as / on the Tasks page and Tab on a repository's page, work only when you are not typing in a text field. The message box keys work while you type in it.
- The logs drawer uses Ctrl+` on a Mac too.
- In the macOS desktop app, a shortcut opens Sensei Spotlight only once you turn it on in Settings > This Mac > Spotlight. It is off by default, uses ⌘Space, and you can record other keys there. See Open Spotlight with a keyboard shortcut.
