Keys and commands

Every action is a command: Ctrl+K finds any of them by name, and the ones with a verb take an argument there (goto 32, bpm 174, snap 1/12). On macOS, Ctrl is Cmd. Keys can be rebound in the settings file (keys).

While playing in the Play view (test play), the game keys belong to the game: EZ2PORT's defaults (Z S X D C V B, Ctrl/Shift, Space, F G H J; 2P on M K , L . / ;) or your own <game>/ez2port/keys.ini. Esc ends the run.
