Map hotkeys
All keyboard shortcuts on the map, and how to change them.
The map has a keyboard shortcut for each of these actions. The keys shown are the defaults. To see the list with your own keys, press ? on the map.
The shortcuts work only in the active map, and not while you type in a text field or while a dialog is open. Ctrl/Cmd means Ctrl on Windows and Linux, and Cmd on macOS.

Change a hotkey
Open Obsidian Settings, then Atlas VTT. Go to Map hotkeys.
Click the shortcut field of the action. It shows Press a key….
Press the key or the key combination. Esc stops without a change.
Each key can do only one thing, so if the key is in use, Atlas tells you which action has it. To give the key to another action, first click the x icon (Clear shortcut) next to the action that has it. The widget keys are the exception: they work only while you hold a widget's number key, so they can share a key with another shortcut.
To go back to the default key, click Restore default next to the action. To reset all keys, click Reset all hotkeys.
