Leader menus
One combination opens a cheatsheet; one bare key per tier picks from it.

This page is a stub.
A shortcut whose action is Open menu does not do anything itself. It draws a cheatsheet over whatever is in front and holds the keyboard until you choose from it. The steps inside are ordinary shortcut rows keyed by a single bare key, and a step can open another menu — so ⌃⌥⌘L → a → t is three keys to something three tiers down.
The point is that only the first key has to be remembered. The panel names everything else.
While a menu is open:
| Key | What it does |
|---|---|
| esc | Closes the menu |
| ← or ⌫ | Goes up a tier |
| → | Comes back down |
| ↑ ↓ | Pages a tier too long to fit |
| A click | Ends the walk, and still lands on whatever you clicked |
