About Shortcut.fyi
Shortcut.fyi is a free reference library for people who would rather keep their hands on the keyboard. It brings together three things in one fast, no-nonsense place: searchable keyboard-shortcut cheatsheets for the operating systems and apps people use every day, command cheatsheets for the command-line tools developers reach for, and a kit of small, instant browser-based tools for everyday text and data jobs.
Why this site exists
Most of us learn five or six shortcuts for an app and then stop, even though the people who feel fastest at their computers are usually just the ones who learned a few more. The problem is that shortcuts are scattered: buried in menus, spread across help pages, or shown once and forgotten. Looking up "how do I do X with the keyboard" usually means wading through ads and sign-up walls to reach a single answer. Shortcut.fyi exists to make that lookup instant. Every cheatsheet is searchable, every command is one tap to copy, and nothing asks you to register or install anything.
How it's built
The whole site is static and runs entirely in your browser. The tools — case converters, a word counter, JSON and CSV helpers, hash and password generators, a QR code maker and more — do their work locally on your device, which means whatever you paste in never leaves your computer or gets sent to a server. There's no account system, no tracking of what you type, and no database of your activity. It loads fast because there isn't much to load: just the page, a small stylesheet and a little JavaScript.
Who it's for
It's aimed at anyone who spends real time at a computer and wants to spend less of it clicking through menus — developers, writers, analysts, designers, students and support teams alike. If you've ever thought "there must be a faster way to do this," the goal is for the answer to be one search away. The library keeps growing as new apps and tools become worth covering. If something you rely on is missing, that's exactly the kind of gap this site is meant to fill.
Who runs this site
Shortcut.fyi is owned and operated by Silver Directive LLC, a US-registered limited liability company. The site is built and maintained in-house rather than by an outsourced content operation, which is why the pages are written and checked by the same people who build the tools. If you need to reach us about anything — a correction, a partnership, or a legal or privacy question — the contact page is the fastest route and the message comes directly to us.
How the content is checked
Accuracy is the whole point of a reference, so shortcuts and commands are compiled from primary sources — official documentation, the applications' own menus and built-in help, and each tool's --help output and man pages — rather than copied from other cheatsheet sites. Where an app assigns a shortcut differently on Mac, Windows and Linux, each platform is listed separately so you copy the right one. Commands are written to be safe to run and checked for correct flags and syntax, and the interactive tools are tested against real input before they ship.
Keeping it current
Apps change their shortcuts and tools add new flags, so pages are reviewed and expanded on a rolling basis and new cheatsheets are added as more apps and tools become worth covering. If you spot something out of date or wrong, the contact page comes straight to us — corrections are genuinely welcome and are part of how the library stays reliable.
