Keyboard shortcuts

Lumetrope uses ⌘ (Cmd) on macOS and Ctrl on Windows and Linux. Menus always show the right labels for your system. Shortcuts are inactive while you type in a text field and on the dashboard, which only knows New and Open.

The single-key tool shortcuts (V, R, O, P, T, H) work only in Animate mode.
