Every shortcut below works with the TYBA window in focus. There’s no native system menu and no global shortcut — nothing fires with the app in the background. To see and change them: Settings → Shortcuts (⌘, on macOS, Ctrl+, on Windows and Linux).
On Windows and Linux the default is Ctrl+Shift+…. That’s deliberate: Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V still belong to the shell — interrupting a process matters more than copying.

Terminal

⌘C only copies when there is a selection. Without one, it passes straight through to the shell and keeps interrupting the process, as you’d expect.

In dialogs

The inbox numbers change with the risk: on green and yellow they’re [1] Yes [2] Always [3] No; on red they’re only [1] Yes [2] No — red never has “Always”.

​
The menu bar, on macOS

TYBA draws its own menu bar — Tyba, File, Edit, View, Session, Window and Help — and the shortcuts shown there are the ones on this page: the bar reads your configuration, not a second table. Remapping a shortcut changes what the menu displays.
There is no menu bar on Windows or Linux. Both run with TYBA’s own title bar, and there is nowhere to draw one. Nothing is lost: everything in the menu has a shortcut or lives in the palette.
Terminal shortcuts — copy, paste, find, select all — are deliberately not in the menu. On macOS a menu accelerator is consumed by the system before it reaches the terminal: putting ⌘C there would switch the key off inside the session.

​
Remapping

Settings → Shortcuts. Click the shortcut, press the new combination, done. Esc cancels the capture. While you’re recording, the app’s shortcuts are turned off — otherwise the combination you’re typing would fire the action instead of being recorded.
There is no conflict detection. Nothing stops you from putting two actions on the same shortcut. When that happens, one of them wins — always the same one, by internal ordering — and the other stops working with no warning.If a shortcut “disappeared” after you changed things, look for a duplicate.
An invalid combination reverts to the default. If the whole configuration gets corrupted, everything reverts to the defaults — you don’t get stuck without shortcuts.
There’s no “restore defaults” button, per shortcut or overall.

​
The ones you can’t remap

⌘1 through ⌘9 are always consumed, even when the tab doesn’t exist. ⌘7 with four tabs open does nothing — and the important part is that it doesn’t type 7 into your shell either.
