Tips
- Practice regularly: The more you use shortcuts, the more they become muscle memory, significantly speeding up your workflow.
- Focus on frequently used actions: Start by learning shortcuts for the tasks you perform most often, then gradually expand your knowledge.
- Use the 'Quick Actions' search (Ctrl+/ or Cmd+/): If you forget a shortcut, you can type the action name to find it and even execute it directly.
- Combine shortcuts: Many advanced workflows involve chaining multiple shortcuts together for seamless operations.
