Corrections

Every page on this site names the documentation it was checked against and the date it was checked. When a shortcut turns out to be wrong, or the vendor changes it, the fix is listed here, newest first, so a checked date carries a history and not just a day.

  • ChatGPT: Re-checked against OpenAI's published shortcut reference for the ChatGPT desktop app, which now includes Codex. A new chat is Ctrl+N or Ctrl+Shift+O (Cmd on a Mac), the sidebar is Ctrl+B, and the floating controls are Win+Alt+P on Windows. Seven rows OpenAI no longer lists were removed, among them copying the last code block and the last response. The page is back on search engines.

  • Claude Code: Ctrl+L redraws the screen and keeps your input and the conversation. The row had said it could clear the screen.
  • Cursor: Ctrl+/, or Cmd+/ on a Mac, is no longer listed as commenting out a line, a key the page had carried over from VS Code. Cursor's own list gives those keys to looping through the AI models, and the row now says so.
  • Cursor: The inline edit note no longer says that with nothing selected it writes at the cursor. Cursor's help describes selecting the code first, and the note now follows it.
  • Microsoft Word: Paste without formatting on a Mac is Cmd+Shift+V. It had been given as Cmd+Ctrl+V, which opens the Paste Special dialogue.
  • Microsoft Word: Microsoft moved copying and pasting formatting in Microsoft 365 in 2023, to Ctrl+Alt+C and Ctrl+Alt+V, or Cmd+Opt+C and Cmd+Opt+V on a Mac, and gave Ctrl+Shift+V to pasting plain text. The rows had kept the older keys, Ctrl+Shift+C and Ctrl+Shift+V, which the notes now give.
  • Microsoft Word: Microsoft gave Ctrl+0, or Cmd+0 on a Mac, to zoom in Microsoft 365 in 2023: it goes back to 100% zoom. The row had kept its older use, adding or removing the space before a paragraph, which the note now gives.
  • Microsoft Word: Microsoft moved the non-breaking hyphen in Microsoft 365: its older key, Ctrl+Shift+Minus, became subscript in 2023, and in 2024 the hyphen got Alt+Shift+Minus, or Opt+Shift+Minus on a Mac. The row had kept the older key. The em dash row no longer gives Opt+Shift+Minus as its Mac key, because Microsoft's Word list gives that key to the non-breaking hyphen; Microsoft's post on the 2023 changes gives it for both, and both rows now say so.
  • Microsoft Word: Microsoft moved subscript in Microsoft 365 in 2023, from Ctrl+= to Ctrl+Shift+Minus, or Cmd+Shift+Minus on a Mac, when Ctrl+= became zoom in. The row had kept the older key, which the note now gives.
  • Microsoft Word: Ctrl+Space removes the character formatting from the selection, not all of it: paragraph formatting stays. The row had said it strips every bit of formatting.
  • Microsoft Word: Ctrl+Alt+Z steps through the places of the last four changes, on Windows. A note had said the last three places.
  • Microsoft Word: Alt+F7 goes to the next spelling or grammar mistake. It had been listed as going to the next tracked change or comment.
  • Microsoft Word: The apply styles box and the Tell Me box have no Mac key in Microsoft's list. Cmd+Shift+S, given for the first, is Save As; Cmd+Opt+R, given for the second, expands or minimises the ribbon.
  • Microsoft Excel: Ctrl+' copies the formula from the cell above and Ctrl+Shift+' copies its value, on Windows and on a Mac. The two had been the wrong way round, and the second had been marked Windows only.
  • Microsoft Excel: Selecting only the visible cells on a Mac is Cmd+Shift+*. It had been given as Cmd+Shift+Z, which is Redo.
  • Microsoft Excel: Ctrl+Shift+A inserts the argument names and brackets after a function name, on Windows. It had been described as showing a tooltip, with a Mac key Microsoft does not list.
  • Microsoft Excel: Defining a name is Alt, M, M, D on Windows and Cmd+F3 on a Mac. It had been given as Ctrl+Shift+F3, which is not in Microsoft's list.
  • Microsoft Excel: The create table dialogue is Ctrl+T on a Mac; Ctrl+L, given before, defines a name there. The page had listed the dialogue and turning the range into a table as two shortcuts; they are one, Ctrl+T or Ctrl+L on Windows. The Tell Me box has no Mac key in Microsoft's list; Cmd+/, given before, opens Help.
  • Microsoft Excel: Pressing Ctrl+A a second time adds the summary rows to the block of data, and a third time selects the whole sheet. A note had said the second press selects the whole sheet.
  • Microsoft Excel: Clearing the selection on a Mac is the Delete key in Microsoft's list. The row had shown Forward Delete.
  • Google Chrome: Go back is Alt+Left on Windows. Backspace, which had been listed as well, is not among Google's keys for it.
  • Google Chrome: Full screen on a Mac is Fn+F in Google's list. Ctrl+Cmd+F, the only key given before, stays beside it as the Mac's own full-screen key.
  • Google Chrome: Two notes said more than Google does. One said reopening closed tabs stops at ten; Google gives no limit. The other said deleting an address-bar suggestion removes it from your history for good; Google describes it as removing the prediction. Both now say what Google says.
  • Google Chrome: Searching the web on a Mac is Cmd+Opt+F in Google's list. Cmd+K, given beside it, is not in Google's Mac list, and the note that it works from anywhere on the page is Google's description of the Windows keys.
  • Google Chrome: Keys Google lists that a row left out are now given: Alt+D and F6 to jump to the address bar, Ctrl+F5 to move the cursor there, and Forward Delete to remove an address-bar suggestion on a Mac. Two Mac rows showed Forward Delete where Google means the Delete key: removing a suggestion is Shift+Fn+Delete, and the clear browsing data dialogue is Cmd+Shift+Delete.
  • macOS: Ctrl+Space selects the previous input source and Ctrl+Opt+Space the next. The row had said Ctrl+Space selects the next.
  • macOS: Fn with an arrow key scrolls a page, or to the top or bottom of the document. Those four rows had been described as moving the cursor. Ctrl+K cuts to the end of the paragraph rather than deleting it.
  • Windows 11: The version line said Windows 10 differences were noted, and none was. Eight rows now say where Windows 10 behaves differently, from Microsoft's Windows 10 list.
  • Windows 11: Changing the view in File Explorer takes Ctrl+Shift and a number from 1 to 9. A note had said 1 to 8.

  • Cursor: Ctrl+L and Ctrl+I both open and close the side panel, with chat and the agent in it. They had been listed as opening chat and the agent separately.
  • Cursor: Rejecting a whole diff is Ctrl+Shift+Backspace, or Cmd+Shift+Backspace on a Mac, not Ctrl+Backspace.
  • Cursor: The previous chat is Ctrl+[, or Cmd+[ on a Mac. The Ctrl+Alt+L shortcut listed for past chats is not in Cursor's documentation and has been removed.
  • Cursor: The keyboard shortcuts editor in Cursor is Ctrl+R then Ctrl+S. It had been given as VS Code's Ctrl+K then Ctrl+S, which in Cursor opens the inline edit.
  • ChatGPT: The ChatGPT page is off search engines until its shortcuts have been checked against OpenAI's own documentation again.
