Keyboard Shortcuts

View and customize keyboard shortcuts for all Plinken commands. Every command can be rebound to a custom key combination.

Open from Settings > Shortcuts (keyboard shortcut: Cmd+, then select the Shortcuts tab).

Overview

The Shortcuts tab displays all registered commands in a scrollable list. Each row shows:

Column	Description
Command Label	Human-readable name of the action
Command ID	Internal identifier (e.g., `transport:toggle-play`)
Shortcut	Current key binding (highlighted in blue if customized)

Category	Description
All	Show all commands
Transport	Play, stop, record, frame navigation
View	Panel visibility, fullscreen, studio mode
Edit	Undo, redo, clipboard, selection
Project	Save, open, new project
Create	Container Manager, LoRA Manager, Shader Browser
Chat	Chat panel actions
Mixer	Mixer-related commands

Editing a Shortcut

Hover over a command row to reveal the Edit button
Click Edit — the row enters edit mode with a key capture field
Press the desired key combination (e.g., Cmd+Shift+P) — it appears in the input field
Click Save to apply, or Cancel to discard

The new binding takes effect immediately and is persisted to the database.

Removing a Shortcut

Hover over a customized row (shown with a blue highlight)
Click Remove to revert to the default binding
If there is no default, the shortcut is cleared entirely

Reset All

Click the Reset All button (top right) to restore all shortcuts to their factory defaults. This removes all custom key bindings.

How It Works

Key Bindings

Shortcuts use an accelerator string format:

[Modifier+]Key

Examples:

Accelerator	Display	Description
`Space`	Space	Toggle playback
`Cmd+S`	⌘S	Save project
`Cmd+Shift+Z`	⌘⇧Z	Redo
`Cmd+Alt+M`	⌘⌥M	Special action
`Left`	←	Move left
`Cmd+Shift+F`	⌘⇧F	Fullscreen

Storage

Custom shortcuts are stored per-command in the SQLite database. Only overridden bindings are stored — commands using their default shortcut have no database entry.

Command IDs

Command IDs follow the pattern category:action-name:

transport:toggle-play
transport:stop
transport:record
edit:undo
edit:redo
project:save
view:toggle-visible
mixer:toggle-mute

Category Routing

Some commands are routed to a different category for display purposes:

Command	Display Category	Reason
`video:frame-back`	Transport	Frame navigation is transport-related
`video:frame-forward`	Transport	Frame navigation is transport-related
`team:toggle-visible`	View	Panel visibility
`video:toggle-fullscreen`	View	Fullscreen is a view action
`assets:toggle-modal`	View	Asset browser visibility
`extensions:open`	View	Extensions panel visibility
`container:toggle-visible`	Create	Container Manager
`lora:toggle-visible`	Create	LoRA Manager
`shader:toggle-visible`	Create	Shader Browser
`streaming:toggle-studio-mode`	View	Studio mode toggle
`video:toggle-broadcast`	View	Broadcast toggle

Default Shortcuts Reference

Some commonly used default shortcuts:

Command	Default Shortcut
Toggle Play	Space
Stop	Return
Record	R
Undo	Cmd+Z
Redo	Cmd+Shift+Z
Save	Cmd+S
Frame Back	←
Frame Forward	→

The full list is available in the Shortcuts tab — select All category to see every registered command and its current binding.

Lua API

Shortcuts can be queried and customized via Lua:

-- Execute a command by ID
pl.cmd("transport:toggle-play")

-- Execute with parameters
pl.cmd("transport:set-bpm", { bpm = 120 })
