Keyboard shortcuts

njMule can be used from the keyboard. Press F1, or choose ⋯ → Keyboard shortcuts, to see the main shortcuts in a small window; this page lists them all.

On macOS, use Cmd wherever this page says Ctrl, and Option for Alt; njMule shows the keys as your system writes them (⌘1 on macOS).
