The README told users to right-click and choose Open. Apple removed that
shortcut in macOS 15, so on current systems it does nothing and the app
looks unopenable.
The current path is System Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Open Anyway.
Also records the exact wording macOS now uses ("could not verify ... free of
malware"), since that is what people will search for, and notes in
SECURITY.md that the ad-hoc signature is what stops the older "is damaged"
error without amounting to a Developer ID.
Every binding lived in three places — the application menu, the renderer's keydown handler, and mouse gestures with no written record at all. Nothing told a user that triple-clicking a pane header detaches it. Settings -> Shortcuts now lists all of them, grouped, with ⌘⇧⌥ on macOS and Ctrl/Shift/Alt elsewhere, and platform-only rows filtered out. The list is data in lib/shortcuts.js, and a test asserts that every accelerator declared in the menu appears in it. A stale shortcut list is worse than none, so this fails the build rather than misleading anyone. Writing that test found Developer Tools was undocumented: its accelerator is a ternary, which the first version of the scan did not match.
The Shortcuts tab only listed the platform you happened to be running, which makes it useless as documentation — someone on a Mac writing an issue for a Windows user could not see their keys. Two columns now, with the running platform highlighted and the other dimmed. Rows where the platforms genuinely differ are stated separately rather than assumed: Developer tools is ⌥⌘I against Ctrl+Shift+I, Full screen is ⌃⌘F against F11. Quit shows "—" for Windows and Linux. Electron's quit role registers no accelerator there, and printing "Ctrl+Q" would be inventing one.

Adds a Shortcuts tab in Settings listing every keyboard shortcut and mouse gesture, with macOS and Windows/Linux keys side by side. Also corrects the macOS install instructions for macOS 15+, where right-click → Open no longer works.
