Lokalise supports switching between different editor hotkey profiles (keyboard shortcuts). To switch between hotkey profiles, simply press Ctrl + / (on Windows) or Cmd + / (on Mac).

You can choose between the Default and Classic profiles. The Classic profile was the default option before July 2022.
