# Chord

A key combination bound to a console command, written `mod+k`, where `mod` is
Cmd on macOS and Ctrl elsewhere, so one binding fits both. Every chord is
rebindable (Settings > Keybindings), and a command remains reachable from the
command bar whether or not it has one.

## Elsewhere

In Emacs a chord or key sequence is several keys pressed one after another (`C-x C-f`). A
console chord is one combination pressed at once.

## Example

```text
mod+k
```
