These are Studio's keyboard shortcuts, grouped by where they work. Outside the document editor, they don't fire while you're typing in a text field.
On a Mac, use ⌘ wherever it says Ctrl.

Frequently asked questions
Why isn't a shortcut working?
Check that you're not typing in a text field: almost all shortcuts are turned off there so they don't interfere with what you type. For the player, click the video first.
Does the C shortcut work while I'm drawing?
No. While you draw on the frame, the drawing tool takes the keyboard. Press Esc to leave it, then C.
Can I change the shortcuts?
No. Studio's shortcuts are fixed.
