Pop up keyboard shortcuts in Gmail, on a Chromebook, and more
Although I’ve created a couple of cheat sheets for remembering keyboard shortcuts, there are other ways to remind yourself which key does what.
A lot of Google products have a key sequence that will show you the keyboard shortcuts for the current product:
| Product | Show Keyboard |
| Gmail* | Shift – / |
| Chromebook | Control – Alt – ? |
| Google Docs/Sheets/Slides | Control – / (Command – / on macOS) |
| Microsoft Word (show Keytips) | F10 |
A lot of programs do not have a way to easily show keyboard shortcuts, which is a shame. Apple is addressing the issue of discoverability with the Touchbar in the new MacBook Pros, we’ll have to see how well that works out.
