Keyboard shortcuts

Every keyboard shortcut in PacedMind, everywhere in the app, in quick add, an activity and the command menu, in lists and task details, the image viewer and the calendar, and in the desktop window.

On a Mac, ⌘ works in place of Ctrl for Ctrl+K, Ctrl+B and Ctrl+Enter, and the desktop window has the Mac's own shortcuts (below).
