Keyboard Layouts and shortcuts
Using a physical keyboard is by far the best way to work in Fluid. Physical Keyboards allow you to type faster and more accurately than floating keyboards, improving speed and accuracy.
Keyboard Layouts
Fluid currently supports a few Keyboard Layouts for external keyboards, including Bluetooth and wired. It is important to note that these layouts currently do not apply to the in-app floating keyboard, but that feature is in the works.
Supported Layouts
English
QWERTY (USA)
French
AZERTY
German
QWERTZ
Ukranian
Russian
Polish
Swedish
Japanese
Romaji to Kana conversion
Spanish
Latin American and Spain

Keyboard Shortcuts
To use a keyboard shortcut, press and hold one or more modifier keys and then press the last key of the shortcut. For example, to use Command-C (copy), press and hold the Command key, then the C key, then release both keys.
Modifier Keys
Control (CRTL)
Windows Key ⊞ or Command (⌘)
Shift ⇧
Alt or Option (⌥)
On Windows keyboards, the modifier keys are (from left to right) Ctrl, Windows, and Alt. On Mac keyboards, the keys are Ctrl, Option, and Command. In Fluid, the Windows key and the Command key perform the same function.
