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.
