Shortcuts

instantOS can be controlled using the mouse or the keyboard. If you are a more advanced user, you can likely skip this part of the documentation.

All keybindings follow a simple convention: Hold down a set of special keys, also called modifiers, and then press a normal key to do an action. Most keybindings make use of the super key. On most keyboards it will have a Windows logo on it, on a Mac it is the command key. When noting a keyboard shortcut, the modifiers are listed first, followed by the action key. For example: Super + A refers to holding down the super key and tapping the A key. Super + Shift + Space refers to holding down both the super and shift key (the order doesn’t matter) and tapping the space bar. You can perform multiple actions by keeping the modifier keys held down and pressing a sequence of action keys.
