Keyboard Shortcuts

Framis is keyboard-first. Once you know a handful of keys you can arrange a workspace without leaving the home row.

Global hotkey

Key	Action
⌃⌥F (default)	Enter Arrange Mode

The global hotkey is configurable in Framis settings. Pick a chord that does not collide with your other macOS shortcuts.

Tips

• Two or three high-frequency commands usually matter more than a huge shortcut map. Start by binding the global hotkey and learn 1 / 2 / ↓ / ↑ / Enter / Esc.
• The same zone numbers and key order repeat across layouts, so the muscle memory carries over.
