I like 5iler a whole lot and I second adestefan's advice. I use a Linux system and don't have cmd keys. I'm wondering if, since some browsers (at least Chrome + Safari) use cmd+1/2/3 to switch tabs, if maybe replacing cmd with ctrl would be easier for everyone involved?

Great app and excellent design. Call me a fan!

Appreciate it :)

Actually, you can already use Ctrl+Numbers -- command is essentially just an alias for Macs (i.e. the Shortcuts modal is the misleading part).

Sorry for not being more clear! I meant that you may want to update the documentation with that information.

I was a bit obtuse in my original comment. Ctrl does work fine. I then tried Alt since that's in the position of the Cmd key, but that didn't work (which is a good thing because then it doesn't eat the browser's tab switch keys.)

Of course the same is also true on Windows.

I've updated the Shortcuts help screen on Windows :)

Still missing in one place. When you hide the menu the little tool tip says to use cmd + E to restore it.

It also recommends Cmd + S as a way to enforce synchronization
