Custom shortcuts

Clean Shot 2026 06 07 At 08 59 02@2x
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 combination is already used by another command, Gridshift shows you which command owns it and keeps Save disabled until you clear it and pick a different one.
Shortcuts are stored locally and persist across sessions.

​
Sub-commands

Clean Shot 2026 06 07 At 08 58 14@2x
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 Return 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

​
Shortcuts

The keys below drive the palette itself. The Global Shortcuts reference lists app-wide commands, and any command in the palette can be bound to your own key.
