Keyboard shortcuts

Every shortcut in Kamo, from stopping a recording to nudging a zoom by one frame.

Action Keys
Stop recording Ctrl+Shift+2

It works while another app has focus, and only while Kamo is recording. Change it in Settings → Shortcuts (it needs Ctrl or Alt). There's no global shortcut to start or pause: Kamo keeps its hands off your keyboard on purpose.
