Command palette (Ctrl+K). Fuzzy-search every menu command and every cell, then Enter to run or jump. epl finds "Export per layer"; typing a cell name jumps to it. Each row shows its keyboard shortcut, so the palette doubles as a way to learn them. Esc closes.
Note: Ctrl+N is not a Glyph shortcut — browsers reserve it for a new window. Use File → New.
