Keyboard shortcuts
The keyboard shortcuts in the web app, by platform, as the help panel and the command palette define them.
The Keyboard shortcuts panel lists every shortcut active at that moment.
Cmd+/ on Mac and Ctrl+/ on Windows and Linux open it. The panel groups
shortcuts under General and Text fields. Shortcuts that belong to a
part of the app you are not using appear dimmed.
On Mac the app shows Cmd, Option, Shift and Control as symbols. On
Windows and Linux it shows Ctrl, Alt and Shift as words. A shortcut
written with Cmd on Mac also accepts Ctrl, and a shortcut written with
Ctrl on Windows and Linux also accepts the Windows or Meta key.
A shortcut that uses no Cmd, Ctrl, Option or Alt key does nothing while
the cursor is in a text field.
