Every shortcut in ZeroTrace Companion — global, terminal, AirLeak workspace, and AI assistant.

The Ctrl+K command palette is the single shortcut worth learning first. It searches every view, every setting, and every connected device. Most actions in Companion are two keystrokes away — Ctrl+K, type the first letters, Enter.
Customisation
Companion ships with these defaults. A future release will add user-customisable bindings; for now, the defaults match the platform conventions you would expect (Ctrl on Windows / Linux, Cmd on macOS).
If a shortcut conflicts with your operating system or another running application, you can disable individual Companion shortcuts in the settings.
