Desk is keyboard-reachable across its subsystems. Shortcuts are scoped to the active subsystem unless noted. Wherever a row says Ctrl/Cmd, macOS takes ⌘; the hints inside the UI spell it the Mac way there (⌘Enter, ⌘S, ⇧Enter).

Editor and notes

Standard Monaco editing chords (multi-cursor, find/replace, etc.) work as in VS Code.
Shortcuts match the key you press, not the character it types, so they work on any keyboard layout. A layout that moves a letter keeps its own chord.

Everywhere

Rail buttons: a single click switches subsystems; clicking the button of the subsystem already in front toggles its sidebar. Right-clicking a button (or Shift+F10 on it) opens its menu: open the subsystem, place it — in the other pane with one pane on screen, in the left or the right pane while the workspace is split, or move it to the other side when it is already open — close its pane while split, collapse the sidebar (the subsystem in front), or open its documentation. A window too narrow for two panes offers only the opening, the sidebar and the documentation (see the workspace model for how the panes are chosen).
