Keyboard shortcuts
Macct can be used efficiently with the keyboard alone. Shortcuts follow
modern web conventions and work on Windows, Linux and Mac (Mac uses ⌘ where
Windows/Linux use Ctrl). The function keys F2/F4/F8 from earlier versions
still work as secondary aliases, but are no longer the primary scheme — on
many laptops they control volume/brightness and require the Fn key.
