Keyboard Shortcuts
On this page This article lists Fleuron's keyboard shortcuts: first the ones in the menus, then the keys that work in particular places, like the editor, the sidebar and the preview.
Tip: You can see the menu shortcuts inside Fleuron too. Choose Help ▸ Keyboard Shortcuts , or look beside each command in Search Fleuron… (⌘K).
Key symbols: ⌘ is Command, ⌥ is Option, ⇧ is Shift, ⌃ is Control, ⌫ is Delete (Backspace).
