Building HKeys — keyboard shortcut reference for designers, devs & power users.

Leonid G  • Peerlist

HKeys is a keyboard shortcut reference for the apps and operating systems you use every day. The catalog covers design tools, browsers, office and document apps, developer tools, communication apps, productivity apps, and operating systems — organized by platform so you always see the exact key combinations for your OS. New apps and categories are added regularly. Most keyboard shortcut references give you one flat list per app. HKeys gives you a separate, accurate page for each platform an app runs on — because macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, and web versions of the same app use different modifier keys and sometimes entirely different shortcut sets. If you use VS Code on Mac, you get the Mac shortcuts. If you switch to Windows, the Windows page shows Ctrl-based equivalents. The platform switcher on every page lets you flip between them instantly.<h3>WHAT HKEYS COVERS </h3><ul><li>Design &amp; Creative Shortcuts for selection, object manipulation, layer management, export, and canvas navigation across the most widely used design and creative tools on Mac and Windows. </li><li>Browsers Tab management, navigation, DevTools, reader mode, and browser-specific features — covered per platform, because modifier keys differ between Mac and Windows and mobile browsers have their own shortcut sets. </li><li>Office &amp; Documents Spreadsheets, documents, presentations, and email clients across Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and Apple iWork.
