Context comes first
These are the current default assignments. A text field, a dialog, a plug-in editor or MIDI Keyboard can own keyboard input. Settings → Shortcuts shows custom assignments. Info presents only a small relevant selection for the hovered area; it is not the full command list.
There is no Command-held secondary tool and no Shift-number workspace navigation. Use the header and bottom-panel tabs for those views.
