MacOS allows you to override and bind new keyboard shortcuts for an app.

This is done via the System Settings > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts... UI, in the App Shortcuts section of the left-hand nav, where you can define custom mappings for any menu item.

Today I discovered the syntax for adding mappings for nested menu options:

${top_level_menu_name}->${nested_menu_name}

Stop pasting rich text!

I’ve used this in Bear to add custom shortcuts for:

• Archiving a note
• Ensuring paste-from-plaintext is the default
• Opening a note in a new window
