Find a keyboard shortcut
Copy, paste, undo, select all, full screen and minimising work as in any other app on your system and sit in the Edit, View and Window menus. This page lists what Snotra adds. Cmd is the command key on macOS; on Windows and Linux read it as Ctrl.
Anywhere in the window
Section titled “Anywhere in the window”These work with the focus in the chat input as well.

Hidden files, Back and Forward follow the key, not the character on it: Cmd+Shift+. works on a German keyboard, where Shift+. types a colon, and Cmd+[ and Cmd+] work on the keys in their place. The settings have no button in the window on purpose — see Find your way around the settings.
The menus show the shortcut next to each entry, as in the ⋯ menu of the tree above.

If it doesn’t work
Section titled “If it doesn’t work”- A shortcut does nothing. Look at View, File or Edit in the menu bar: the menu shows the shortcut next to each entry. The ones that follow the physical key — hidden files, Back, Forward — are shown there but handled by the window itself.
Cmdand+makes the whole window larger. The preview did not have the focus. Click into the document and press it again; View › Actual Size puts the window back.
