## Keyboard Shortcuts

In addition to the shortcut keys, which are shown in the window menu, the following shortcut keys are supported by Pentobi. Note that these shortcuts are not active when the comment text field has the focus. In this case, the focus can be switched away from the comment text with the Tab key.
