Shortcuts

TileMyMac keyboard shortcuts

Every shortcut starts with Control + Option (⌃⌥) held together, a combo almost no other app uses. Prefer different keys? In Settings › Shortcuts you can start them with Option alone, or Command + Option, instead.

⌃Control
⌥Option
⇧Shift
⌘Command

Tip: H J K L work in place of ← ↓ ↑ → in every shortcut, if you like to keep your hands on the home row.
