Tips

• Find Action / Search Everywhere (⇧ ⌘ A) is the fastest way to look up any command and its shortcut.
• Customize a shortcut: Rider → Settings → Keymap, then right-click an action → Add Keyboard Shortcut.
• If a shortcut conflicts with macOS (e.g. Mission Control, Spotlight), disable it in System Settings → Keyboard → Keyboard Shortcuts.
• Use Help → Keymap Reference for a printable PDF of the active keymap.

Note: The "Visual Studio (macOS) copy" keymap mirrors VS for Mac defaults. Some shortcuts may differ slightly from your version of Rider — verify in Settings → Keymap if a binding doesn't match.
