All shortcuts above are defaults and can be reassigned in the [Action Editor](/nobe-omniscope/action-editor.md). The Action Editor also exposes additional actions — such as **Go to Frame**, **Go to Time**, per-scope controls, and QC toggles — that can be assigned to keyboard shortcuts or StreamDeck buttons.
