Keyboard shortcuts
Every system-wide shortcut, generated from Aurora's keyboard configuration, plus the ones inside Aurora's apps
These are the system-wide shortcuts of a new account, generated from Aurora's default
configuration (/usr/share/aurora/labwc/rc.xml). Your own copy is
~/.config/labwc/rc.xml; change them, or add your own, in Settings →
Keyboard → Shortcuts. Super+/ shows the ones in effect on screen. They work
in both sessions unless marked.
