Keyboard shortcuts

Dabadoro has 15 keyboard shortcuts, and you can change any of them in Settings, on the Shortcuts tab. Space starts or pauses the focus timer, P switches between Timer and Pomodoro, and F cycles fullscreen. Ctrl Z undoes the last change (Cmd Z on a Mac). Shortcuts work while the Dabadoro window is in front.
