Is there any way I can logout without touching the user menu?
The reason for this strange question is simply that when I impersonate a user, I try not to touch their user menu if it has any new notifications. But it looks like I need to in order to log out. Or is there a way?
Maybe just delete the session cookie? But how do I find that one?

Keyboard shortcut: ZZ

Wow! 🐕
Why is that not in the keyboard shortcuts list? (I looked for it there)

It is? Middle of it.

I was going to say that it was unnecessary to document because it’s so obvious.
(It’s obvious only if you know already _and_ you are a vim user.)

Oops 🤦♂️
No idea why I didn’t see that. I checked several times. Maybe because it’s kind of an outlier visually. I wonder if it would be easier to read that shortcut list if the functions were listed first and the shortcuts after? Cause you obviously search for the word “Logout” in my case, not Shift + Z

No, the obvious one would be Ctrl + Z, which I did indeed try.
