Keyboard shortcuts
Every Dockmaster shortcut on Windows, Linux and macOS, plus the keys that behave specially inside terminals.
Dockmaster’s shortcuts use Ctrl+Shift on Windows and Linux and Cmd on macOS. Plain Ctrl keys are never taken, so shortcuts like Ctrl+R or Ctrl+B always reach the program running in your terminal.
