Every shortcut in Consistent Notes, grouped the way the app groups them.
Hold ⌘ for three-quarters of a second, anywhere in the app, and the shortcuts overlay appears — filtered to wherever you are (list, editor, or ToDos) and to vim variants when vim is on. This page is that overlay, plus the shortcuts it doesn’t show.
