Windows
These are the system shortcuts: they work on the desktop and inside almost any app, because Windows handles them before the app ever sees the key press.
macOS
These work in the Finder and, with few exceptions, in every app that follows Apple's conventions.

Sheets deliberately borrows most of Excel's keys, so almost everything you already know still works.
ChatGPT
Since Codex joined the ChatGPT desktop app in July 2026, one set of keys covers Chat, Work and Codex, and OpenAI publishes the whole set.
