What is the Keyboard Shortcut Reference?
On a Mac, Command (⌘) does most of what Ctrl does on Windows and Linux, and Option (⌥) plays the part of Alt. Browser shortcuts are mostly shared by Chrome and Edge, which are built on the same engine; Firefox and Safari differ in places, such as Ctrl + Shift + P for a private window in Firefox.
The list covers Windows 11, recent macOS versions and the GNOME desktop used by Ubuntu and Fedora. Some laptops need Fn for the F-keys, and shortcuts can be changed in system settings, so if one doesn’t work it may have been reassigned.
