Notes:
If the Enable While Editing Text option is enabled for the Keyboard Remote feature, a warning will be displayed if any of the key combinations conflict with text editing key combinations. When this happens, the Keyboard Remote combination will cancel the effects of the text editing combination resulting in unexpected behavior. For example, if Keyboard Remote combinations use the arrow keys, navigation of the text with the arrow keys will not work.
Press and hold the command key on the keyboard to display the available key commands. This is a system feature available in all apps.
