I have created a (not so) simple HTML that you can use to display a colour-coded cheat sheet of the keyboard shortcuts. You can display just those for Windows/Linux or for MacOS, or for both and you can change the font-size. You can relatively easily add your own shortcuts to the list (and display the shortcut keystrokes in your own language) by editing the file, where you see the comment
/*

See the posts below for more information.
Just download the following HTML file, remove its phoney “.txt” suffix and run it in a browser. Enjoy:
This is not approved in the docs category, which is a managed space. I maintain a page for this on the web site and there is Help > Actions and Shortcuts
That’s OK. After I submitted it I had a good look at the “Documentation” topics and felt this wasn’t a good place for it. I almost asked you to move it to “Resources”.
I processed your “Keyboard Shortcuts” webpage to get the basic info for the utility, so it shouldn’t contain any errors. Users can modify it to suit their needs, e.g. they have changed a key combination, or they want to reorder to get their “favourites” to the top of the table.
I like it, but I feel that finding a particular item in the list would be easier if there was only one column (maybe with a width of around 1000 pixels) centered on the screen. I can get one single column if I increase the font size to around 32 pixels, but that makes the text too big in my opinion.
thanks for finding the F1 bug. I thought I’d fixe by searching for F11 before searching for F1, but I must have reverted the change. I’ll put it back.
The single column I can easily fix too.
I’m going out for the day now, but will sort it later this afternoon. Also, I am looking at an easy way of translating to other keyboards in different languages.
For me this is very useful - thanks @elusien for your hard work on this. It’s a useful resource to compliment this page:
Being able to add/amend my customised shortcuts is a real bonus.
I differ slightly from @musicalbox about just having one column though - for me, three columns is better (less vertical scrolling needed) - but it’s really a minor point:
I actually immediately looked at the HTML page and learned some shortcuts that I never knew about - eg hat you can advance one frame at at time with K + L, for example.
The colour coding makes it really clear. Thanks!
I have uploaded the latest version of the HTML file to the first post above. Just download it remove the phoney “.txt” suffix and run it in a browser.
The “F11” problem is fixed. I have also added some comments on how to tailor it to change the colours of the keys and the text displayed on the keys. I’ve reproduced that information below. Enjoy.
I was able to modify the code to display one centered column.
True. But if I’m looking for one particular thing, I can do Ctrl+F to open Chrome’s Find tool.
Now I’m looking for the way to make the page display the Windows/Linux layout by default. Or only the Windows layout (I doubt I’ll ever own a Mac )
I removed the “All” option, but I kept the “MacOs” one… just in case.
Also, since I wanted as few double-lines as possible in the table rows, I removed all the line breaks (<br>) in the shortcuts column and highlighted the words “or” and “then”
I also made a few minor changes to fit my personal taste. Like different fonts and colors.
Here’s how it looks now:
As @jonray mentioned, it makes for a long page to browse. However, since I intend to use the cheat sheet primarily for my custom shortcuts (especially those I haven’t completely memorized yet), the page will end up being much shorter.
Looks really good, @musicalbox. Would it be possible for you to post your amended HTML? The idea of a single column is growing on me and I like your font choices…
