CheatSheet - View Mac keyboard shortcuts in the current application

by

CheatSheet is lets you view available keyboard shortcuts in your current application. Just hold the ⌘-Key a bit longer to get a list of all active short cuts of the current application. It's as simple as that.

Super useful, especially for those transitioning from Windows to the Mac (👋 @corleyh).

@rrhoover DOWNLOADED and using already! This is so helpful! I also added it to my helpful tools collection! 😀
Ramin
@corleyh @rrhoover perfect timing! :)

@rrhoover Dude, is there anything we don't have in common? I'm a recovering Windows user too (been on Mac for several months now).

@dharmesh we're twins, Dharmesh.

@corleyh @rrhoover Is this not reinventing the (KeyCue) wheel? I'm a long time KeyCue owner (frankly of the Ergonis suite, Typinator is the killer app) and I don't see anything wrong with their rock solid and steadily supported keyboard shortcut app at all. http://www.ergonis.com/products/... This just looks like a copycat app. Am I missing something here?

I'm a bigger fan of http://www.hotkey-eve.com. This tosses a growl notification when you perform an action that has a shortcut.

@twnsndco This is more of what I was looking for :)

This is on my 'Must Install' apps list for OSX

Did install it, but it is something I used so occasionally that I was more annoyed with the window accidentally popping up than I benefited from the shortcuts. Great concept, though, and indeed very useful for new mac users.

@theoblochet the trick is to learn the shortcuts ;)

I've been using this for a few months now and I absolutely love it. I've learned a ton of new shortcuts for Photoshop, Chrome, and even apps like Apple Mail and so on. Phenomenal tool. By the way, you can change the launch delay so that you only open it deliberately. Very easy to change that in "settings".
Owen Williams
This is really cool and I dig it, but why does it need to take up the entire screen? Can't the white box resize depending on how many shortcuts are being shown?
John Slater
This will be very useful for me as i make a very slow but much needed switch to Sketch
Marko
Whoa, I wish this existed when I've migrated from PC to Mac! 😄
Andreas Menzen
As a MAC beginner it is absolutely unthinkable NOT to use CheatSheet anymore :-) You made a great job
Joshua Dance
Slow clap. This is fantastic. Helps people switching, but also anyone trying to learn keyboard shortcuts.
Shane Jeffers
This concept is right on! Now it just needs some options like resizing the window, visual appearance changes, etc. Awesome though!
Liam F. Tjoa
Cool! Love it :-) Screen is big though, could be smaller.
Blake McClary
Just installed this today and I'm loving it so far! Anyone wish it wasn't as big a window though? My only *minor* complaint.
Saul Sutcher
@blakemcclary I agree. Would love to be able to either resize the window or set a size manually.
Stef Chan
Getting a Mac soon, so this will be so useful for when I transition over!
Hans Dorsch
Great idea, but actually doesn't have any advantages over looking through the menues plus searching for functions under the help menu (which is awesome, btw.). Might be better, if it had a search field.
Thibaut Davoult
This is useful but somehow isn't 100% accurate. Maybe it's because I don't have a US keyboard. I checked with Chrome and some shortcuts are different (I use ctrl+tab to go to the next tab). If there's a way to fix this on my side, it would be great to know it!
Zac Nielson
Very useful! New essential for Mac users.
Thibault Bonnefoy
Really useful, especially for new mac user :) Thanks.
Jill Salzman
Didn't totally get it until I downloaded it and hit command. And then...MIND. BLOWN. Thank you for creating this!!
Eilert Janßen
Nice! I also use GrandTotal for a long while now. I have one question: the tool only displays the shortcut beginning with CMD/ALT/CTRL. Is there a possibility to show really all shortcuts of an application - or is this too specific? All palette shortcuts in Ps or Ai are missing - for instance.
