Insert Option ⌥ Enter Adds an option.
Insert If statement ⌥ ⇧ / Opens the If menu.

Italic (for thoughts) ⌘ I Italic text, for a character’s thoughts.
Fold the lines under this one ⌘ ⌥ [ Folds the lines under the line you are on.

Change a shortcut

  1. Open the Settings tab. Keyboard shortcuts is at the bottom.
  2. Click a shortcut, then press the new keys. Esc keeps the old ones.
  • New keys need ⌘, Ctrl or ⌥, or a function key, so they never type a letter.
  • If the keys belong to another shortcut, that shortcut loses them. Tsumugi tells you.
  • × leaves a shortcut with no keys.
  • Use the usual keys puts them all back.
