Keyboard Shortcuts
On a Mac, use Cmd wherever this page says Ctrl.
Console shortcuts pause while a dialog (such as Settings or the song editor) or the theme editor is open, so they never clash with typing. Esc and Ctrl + K keep working.

Ctrl + C toggles Clear, even while you're typing in a library search box. Use the copy button to copy a verse.
