Keyboard shortcuts

Shortcuts for the LatentWork desktop app. On macOS use ⌘; on Windows and Linux use Ctrl.

App

Open or close the command palette	`⌘`+`K`	`Ctrl`+`K`

The new-task shortcut works when you're not typing in a text field. Text size goes from 80% to 160% in steps of 10%, and LatentWork remembers it.
