Customizing Shortcuts

Most shortcuts can be reassigned from Settings → Keyboard Shortcuts. Each row in the table shows:

A lock icon for built-in shortcuts that cannot be changed (Monaco editor bindings, browser-level shortcuts).
An Edit button for customizable shortcuts.

Click Edit on any customizable row, then press the key combination you want to assign. The recorder captures modifier keys (Cmd/Ctrl, Shift, Alt) plus the final key. Press Escape to cancel. Changes are saved immediately to keybindings.json in your config directory.

To revert a customized shortcut to its default, click the ↺ (reset) button on its row.

keybindings.json

Tabularis stores your overrides in a JSON file in the OS config directory:

Platform	Path
macOS	`~/Library/Application Support/tabularis/keybindings.json`
Linux	`~/.config/tabularis/keybindings.json`
Windows	`%APPDATA%\tabularis\keybindings.json`

The file is only created when you first customize a shortcut. Its format is a map from shortcut ID to platform-specific KeyMatch objects:

{
  "toggle_sidebar": {
    "mac": { "metaKey": true, "key": "k" },
    "win": { "ctrlKey": true, "key": "k" }
  },
  "new_tab": {
    "mac": { "metaKey": true, "key": "n" },
    "win": { "ctrlKey": true, "key": "n" }
  }
}

Each KeyMatch supports the following fields:

Field	Type	Description
`key`	string	The key value (e.g. `"b"`, `"ArrowRight"`, `"F5"`)
`ctrlKey`	boolean	Ctrl modifier
`metaKey`	boolean	Cmd/Meta modifier
`shiftKey`	boolean	Shift modifier
`altKey`	boolean	Alt/Option modifier

You can edit this file manually if you prefer. Tabularis reads it at startup; changes while the app is running take effect after a restart.
