Emacs runs inside a terminal, so there's no macOS menu bar for Keysi to read. Its shortcuts come from this sheet instead. Hold ⌘ while Emacs is in the foreground and they appear.
32 shortcuts · adds to what Keysi reads from the app's own menus · free, and not part of Keysi Pro.

It's already in Keysi. Install the app and hold ⌘ in Emacs.
Keysi lists it as Emacs in Settings ▸ Shortcuts.
To change it, download the file below and put it in ~/Library/Application Support/Keysi/Sheets/ (Settings ▸ Shortcuts ▸ “Reveal Sheets Folder”). A sheet with the same id replaces the built-in one, so your edits stick. Or use Keysi's editor and skip the JSON.
Matches the program in a terminal's foreground: emacs, emacsclient. Keysi checks the terminal's foreground job, so the sheet appears while you're actually in it.
