Focus matters
Letter shortcuts remain normal text input inside a text field. Undo (⌘Z) and Redo (⇧⌘Z) also act on the focused editor. Finish typing and focus the timeline before undoing a timeline edit.
Menu items show the current shortcuts. Command search supports arrow-key navigation, Return to run, and Escape to close. Enable macOS Keyboard Navigation if you want Tab to reach all controls.
