## Custom shortcuts

Shortcuts are saved in `~/.glade/userdata/keybindings.json`. **Settings → Keyboard shortcuts** edits
it for you, or you can edit the file directly. Each rule names a key and a command, with an optional
`when` condition such as `terminalFocus` or `terminalOpen`:

```json
[{ "key": "mod+shift+t", "command": "terminal.new", "when": "terminalOpen" }]
```

When two rules match the same key, the last one wins.
