How keyboard shortcut reference works
Every row in this reference pairs an action with the key combination that performs it on each platform. Windows notation uses the key names printed on the keyboard — Ctrl+Shift+T — while macOS notation uses the standard modifier symbols: ⌘ Command, ⌥ Option, ⇧ Shift and ⌃ Control. Switching platform re-renders the same table in native notation, so a Mac user never has to mentally translate "Win+L" into "⌃⌘Q" and vice versa.
The shortcuts cover four categories. General holds the clipboard and document staples (copy, paste, undo, save, screenshots). Text editing covers word-at-a-time cursor movement, line and document navigation, and formatting like bold and italic. Browser covers tabs, zoom, reloading, history and developer tools. Window management covers minimizing, virtual desktops, task view and the task manager or force-quit dialog. The search box matches both the action text and the key strings — type "tab" to see every tab-related shortcut, or a symbol like "⌥" to find all Option-key combinations.
The list favors defaults: Windows rows follow Windows 10/11 conventions, and Mac rows follow Apple defaults, with the browser category following the Chrome/Edge keymap, which Firefox and Safari share almost everywhere. Only shortcuts that exist on both platforms are listed with two keys; a dash means the platform has no universal built-in equivalent, such as window snapping on macOS. App-specific chords (VS Code, Photoshop, media keys) are out of scope — this is the daily-driving core, not an exhaustive encyclopedia.
