Keyboard shortcuts

Every key Magnum binds: first as Magnum's own list groups them, then tabs and tiles', the Board's and terminals' on Linux. Keys are written as on a Mac; on Linux Magnum shows them with Ctrl, Alt and Shift, Ctrl standing for both Command and Control. To see the list in Magnum, press ⌘/ or choose Help → Keyboard Shortcuts.

• Esc Leave the line being typed, then clear the marks, then the chosen row; in History, then the count you clicked, then Focus

Terminals on Linux

A terminal copies with Ctrl+Shift+C and pastes with Ctrl+Shift+V, since Ctrl+C stays the shell's interrupt. While a terminal has the keyboard, Ctrl+W, Ctrl+T, Ctrl+K and Ctrl+L go to the shell; Ctrl+Shift+T starts another terminal and Ctrl+Shift+W closes it; elsewhere Ctrl+T starts one.
