# 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.
