EnglishWhich platforms and apps does UseTheKeyboard cover?
Updated
UseTheKeyboard covers keyboard shortcuts for Mac apps, Windows programs, and websites. Its catalog spans productivity tools, design software, developer environments, communication apps, and some games. If you want to know whether a specific program is included, the site provides a search box and an alphabetical "All Programs" list you can scan directly.
Platforms covered
The site organizes its collection around three platform types:
- Mac apps — e.g., Finder, iTerm, Transmit, Sequel Pro, Xcode, Sketch, Bear, Things-style productivity tools, and Zoom for Mac.
- Windows programs — e.g., Notepad++, PuTTy, Microsoft Teams, Microsoft Outlook, Excel, and Zoom for Windows.
- Websites — e.g., Gmail, Google Drive, GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Trello, Jira, Reddit, Twitter, YouTube, Netflix, Figma, and Notion.
Some apps appear in more than one context (for example, Zoom is listed separately for Mac and Windows), so check the specific platform entry rather than assuming one page covers all operating systems.
App categories represented
The "All Programs" list mixes popular headline apps with long-tail tools. Grouping the listed names by purpose gives a practical picture of coverage:
| Category | Examples from the list |
|---|---|
| Productivity & notes | Notion, Evernote, Obsidian, Roam Research, Todoist, TickTick, Monday.com, Airtable, Quip |
| Design | Figma, Sketch, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe XD, Adobe Lightroom CC, Affinity Designer, Affinity Photo, Framer X, Origami Studio, Principle, Proto.io |
| Development | Visual Studio Code, Sublime Text, PhpStorm, Android Studio, Xcode, iTerm, Postman, GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Code Editor for iOS |
| Communication | Slack, Discord, Telegram Desktop, Microsoft Teams, Skype, Missive, Superhuman, Microsoft Outlook |
| Office & spreadsheets | Excel, Google Drive, Dropbox, WordPress, Shopify, Webflow |
| Media | VLC Player, Spotify, SoundCloud, Apple Music, YouTube, Netflix, Audacity, Blender, GIMP |
| Gaming | Fortnite, Apex Legends |
| Other utilities | 1Password, Brave Browser, Firefox, Google Chrome, Vivaldi Browser, FileZilla, Transmit, TablePlus, PuTTy, KanbanMail, Pocket, Feedly |
The "Most Popular" section highlights Notion, Figma, Discord, and Telegram Desktop, which suggests those pages are the most frequently consulted.
How to check whether your app is covered
- Open usethekeyboard.com.
- Use the "Search for shortcuts" box and type the app name.
- If search is inconclusive, scroll the "All Programs" list, which is alphabetical.
- Open the app's page to see its shortcut set.
Expected result: either a dedicated shortcut page for that app, or no match — in which case the site's footer includes a "Make a request" link attributed to its builder, @aschmelyun, for suggesting additions.
Practical limits to keep in mind
- Coverage is a curated collection, not an exhaustive index of every program; absence from the list means no page exists yet, not that the app has no shortcuts.
- The list is app-centric, so a single entry may not distinguish between web and desktop versions of the same product.
- Because entries are community-style references, verify version-specific shortcuts against the app's own documentation when precision matters — especially for tools that change keybindings between releases.
If your work centers on the apps in the table above, the site is likely to have a usable reference; for niche or internal tools, expect to rely on the request link or the vendor's own docs.
