"Keyboard" is a bit too generic/ambiguous
- Replace "show nodes with children only" checkbox with a toggle button.
Reasons:
- The checkbox was the only thing below the tree viewer - occupying
an entire line of horizontal space.
- Because of how Tab and Shift+Tab keys are used in the tree viewer,
moving focus to elements below the tree viewer is not possible - you
can only move above the tree viewer. That made this checkbox
inaccessible from keyboard
- The label for this checkbox is long, adding visual noise - it's
cleaner as a small tidy button
- Don't display split view controls if split view is not enabled to
reduce visual clutter

Suggested reviewers: Priority: ➖ Normal Change: Feature Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The feature is broadly mergeable, but several shortcuts can ignore disabled states, disappear across platforms, or navigate incorrectly.

Full details: Testing InstructionsExplanation The instructions cover preferences, URL shortcuts, forms, dialogs, trees, queries, and navigation. They do not clearly cover all changed shortcut paths. The diff adds record-set first/previous/next/last navigation and add-resource shortcuts in Resolution Expand the testing instructions with explicit steps for: (1) record-set first, previous, next, and last navigation, including first/last boundary behavior, and add-resource actions; (2) form-meta and related-record-in-new-tab shortcuts; (3) every tree action, including focusing tree search; (4) query, count-only, distinct, and browse-in-forms actions; and (5) shortcut availability in subforms, dialogs without submit/close actions, and disabled attachment or selector contexts. Replace “most” and “expected actions” with named scenarios and state the required browser, operating-system, and unsaved-change conditions for each test.

Disable the add shortcut in subforms.
When FormTable receives dialog={false}, it renders COJODialog for CollectionObjectGroupJoin.children. The normal add path disables the shortcut in this mode, but this button always enables it. The configured addResource shortcut can open a COJO creation dialog from a subform.
Pass the same enablement condition into COJODialog and use it here.

Apply copy eligibility checks to shortcut callbacks.
The copy buttons disable cloning and carry-forward when the resource is new, changed, or saving. carryForward and clone only check handleAdd, canCreate, and feature visibility. A configured shortcut can therefore clone or carry forward a resource while the matching button is disabled.
Require !resource.isNew() && !isChanged && !isSaving before creating either shortcut callback.

📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Correct the platform key name in the example.
The example uses linux, but KeyboardShortcuts in config.ts accepts only mac, windows, and other. A definition written from this example would never resolve. The following sentence already says "other" devices, so only the key needs changing.
📝 Proposed fix
- `{ windows: "", mac: "", linux: "" }`. ios devices are treated as mac. In
- spirit of sp6, all "other" devices are treated as linux.
+ `{ windows: "", mac: "", other: "" }`. iOS devices are treated as mac. All
+ remaining devices use the "other" key.📝 Committable suggestion
‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Return the filtered shortcuts from cleanupEmpty.
If an existing shortcut remains, cleanupEmpty returns the original value. The empty entry added during editing can then be persisted beside the valid shortcut. It renders as “No key binding assigned” and leaves an unreachable empty-string entry in the keyboard listener map.

Use the path prefix, not user-tool presence, to choose navigation.
A custom same-origin URL outside /specify/ and /accounts/ can be a backend-owned URL. If it is not a user-tool URL, the current branch sends it to React Router, whose catch-all route renders NotFoundView instead of loading the backend page.
/accounts/password_change/ is a React Router route, so it is not an example of this issue.

Fix the platform-specific properties in the fallback branches.
A Windows-only shortcut resolves to undefined on macOS and other platforms. A Mac-only shortcut resolves to undefined on Windows and other platforms. This prevents saved shortcuts from working outside their configured platform and hides them from the preference UI.

Drop empty subcategories after shortcut extraction.
regularDefinitions removes shortcut items but keeps subcategories whose items array becomes empty. PreferencesContent still renders these subcategories, so form.actions, form.dialogs, treeEditor.actions, queryBuilder.actions, and header.actions show empty headings with Reset buttons that perform no work.

Disable the distinct shortcut while series mode is active.
The checkbox uses isReadOnly={isSeries} to prevent this state. The shortcut still calls handleToggleDistinct when isSeries is true. A configured shortcut can therefore enable both modes.
Proposed fix
const canRun = hasPermission('/querybuilder/query', 'execute');
const canRunDistinct = canRun && !isTreeTable(tableName);
+ const canToggleDistinct = canRunDistinct && !isSeries;
const runDistinctKeyboardShortcut = userPreferences.useKeyboardShortcut(
'queryBuilder',
'actions',
'distinct',
- canRunDistinct ? handleToggleDistinct : undefined

Actions can be taken on both the main form, within dialogs, record sets, using keyboard shortcuts out of the box:
Keyboard Shortcuts appears as a new section in User Preferences. Shortcut mappings for forms, dialogs, trees, query builders, navigation items, user tools, and URLs are covered by the existing preference definitions and automated tests.
