Keyboard shortcuts

Hands stay on the keys.

Global shortcuts for everything you do often. They work in any app and can all be rebound.

Reaching for the trackpad to start a timer is enough friction to skip it. ctrlhq's shortcuts work from any app.

Every shortcut can be changed in Settings, and ctrlhq tells you if one clashes with another app.
