Most of us are so used to keyboard shortcuts that they become a reflex in everyday life or at work. This is the case, for example, when you copy and paste text between applications or when you open a new tab in your browser. However, when you start using a new tool or software, it can be difficult to find the most useful keyboard shortcuts.
But recently I came across the site Use The Keyboard, whose goal is to offer you lists of shortcuts (Windows or Mac) classified by applications or websites.
What's nice about this site is that in addition to being very practical, its ergonomics are very successful, making its use simple and efficient. For example, you just have to use the small search engine at the top of the site to find the application for which you need the keyboard shortcuts. You will then access a page dedicated to the application with all (or most) of the useful shortcuts for this application. And the site will please Windows and Mac users, because a small switch allows you to switch from one system to the other in one click.

You will find shortcuts for applications like Excel, VLC, Adobe Lightroom, Outlook… or websites like YouTube, Spotify or even Google Drive.
Although the site currently only offers around twenty shortcut lists, I have no doubt that it will be expanded in the coming months as its usefulness is self-evident!
In short, this site is an excellent way to always have on hand the keyboard shortcuts of the tools useful in everyday life and the cherry on the cake, Use The Keyboard is open-source (so you can take a look at his code on GitHub).
