The modern and ACiDDraw key presets, your own bindings, and every setting in the config file.

Two presets

modern is the default: Ctrl-S saves, Ctrl-Z undoes, and so on.
acid gives ACiDDraw’s Alt-letter keys on top of it.

The acid preset changes these keys:

Key	Action
`Alt-B`	block menu
`Alt-R`	undo
`Alt-S`	save
`Alt-L`	open
`Alt-D`	SAUCE info
`Alt-O`	document properties
`Alt-C`	clear layer
`Alt-X`	quit
`Alt-H`	help
`Alt-Z`	iCE colors
`Alt-U`	pick up colors
`Alt-I` / `Ctrl-Y`	insert / delete line
`Ctrl-Shift-Z`	redo
`Esc` while typing text	the color dialog

The key sheet

? (or Alt-H, F12) shows the live key sheet: the keys as they are bound right now, including your own overrides. The command palette shows each command’s key too.

Single-letter keys only work while a drawing tool is active. While you type text they type text instead.

Your own keys

Override any key in the config file. Each action takes a list of key specs such as "ctrl-s", "alt-b", "shift-f1" or "ctrl-shift-h":

[keymap]
preset = "modern"            # or "acid"

[keymap.bindings]
save = ["ctrl-s", "f2"]

acidtrip keys lists every action id, its title and its keys, grouped by category.

The config file

The first run writes a config file with comments. Palette › Open settings file opens it, and Reload settings picks up your changes. Unknown keys are ignored, and anything you delete falls back to its default.

Where things live

acidtrip paths prints where the config, fonts, stencils, versions, recovery files and sockets live. Set ACIDTRIP_HOME to keep everything in one directory.
