Shortcut Learning Strategy
Keyboard shortcuts are easiest to adopt when you focus on repeated actions instead of trying to memorize an entire application at once.Mind the platform
The same action may use Ctrl on Windows or Linux and Command on macOS.
Practice in context
Shortcuts stick faster when you use them during real work instead of reading a list once.
