Keyboard shortcuts

Shortcuts are scoped to where your keyboard is. The same chord can do different work in a terminal, editor, list, or palette without colliding.

Sessions and attention

`⌘T`	Open the new-session sheet	Anywhere
`F2`	Rename the highlighted or active session	Anywhere
`⌥⌘↓` / `⌥⌘↑`	Move to the next or previous session	Anywhere

Open Settings, then Keyboard, to record a dedicated shortcut for starting a particular agent. Tortie checks the chord against its built-in map and other assigned agents before saving it.
