Keyboard shortcuts

Every binding in Kimo, from the same table the app's Keyboard shortcuts sheet renders (open it with ⌘/ on macOS, Ctrl+/ elsewhere, from File › Help in the app, or from the desktop app's native Help menu). On Windows and Linux, Ctrl replaces ⌘ and Alt replaces ⌥; both modifiers are accepted on every platform. ⌫ is Backspace or Delete.
