Shortcuts

These shortcuts work in the Search modal and the Search pane. Keys are shown as on Windows and Linux. On macOS, read Ctrl as ⌘ and Alt as ⌥. The exceptions are in Selected row: Copy as a link is ⌃+C and Insert after also takes ⌃+I.

Alt shortcuts match the physical key, so they work on macOS even though ⌥ plus a letter normally types a character.
