iPad hardware keyboards
iPad uses Crest’s shipped defaults for the commands available on that platform. Hold the Command key to inspect commands exposed by the current menu context. Full shortcut rebinding is a Mac feature.
On iPad, Option-Command-N remains New Quick Window. New Blank Window is a Mac command.
Context-only keys
Some temporary interfaces have their own local actions. In Peek, Command-W closes the preview and Command-O promotes it to a full tab. Escape dismisses transient panels such as the command palette or Quick Window flow when dismissal is available.
Resolve a conflict on Mac
Search for either command in Settings → Shortcuts, select the row, and record a different key combination. Crest shows collisions before the replacement becomes part of your command map. Clearing a shortcut makes the action unassigned; resetting restores the shipped default.
