Custom Shortcuts

Any command can have a custom keyboard shortcut:
  1. Open the Command Palette (⌘K)
  2. Find the command you want
  3. Press ⌘S
  4. Press your desired key combination
  5. Done — the shortcut is now active
If your shortcut conflicts with an existing one, Gridshift will show you the conflict and let you choose which command should use it.
Shortcuts are stored locally and persist across sessions.

Sub-Commands

Some commands have sub-menus for additional options. For example:
  • Select Instrument → shows available Audio Unit instruments
  • Add Effect → shows available Audio Unit effects
  • Change Scale → shows all available scales
  • Set Track Color → shows the color palette
Press Enter to drill into the sub-menu. Sub-commands can also have their own shortcuts.

Favorites & Recents

Commands you use frequently appear at the top:
  • Favorites (⭐) — commands you’ve explicitly marked with ⌘D
  • Recents — your most recently used commands
Frequently used commands appear at the top of the list.
