Keyboard shortcuts
Every shortcut in Onwarder, for Mac, Windows and Linux, in the browser and on a tablet or phone with a keyboard.
On a Mac, shortcuts use Cmd (⌘) and Option (⌥). On Windows and Linux they use Ctrl and Alt. The same shortcuts work in the browser, and on an iPad or phone with a keyboard attached.
In the desktop app, most of these are also in the menu bar, so you can look them up there.
