# About Tiny Shortcuts

A small set of keyboard tools: a shortcut finder, printable cheat sheets and pickers for the characters that are hard to type.

## What is here

Cheat sheets for macOS, Windows 11, Chrome, VS Code and Google Docs, and a finder that searches all of them at once, by action or by keys, for Mac, Windows or Linux. Alongside them are three character tools: a symbol picker with code points and HTML entities, the Windows Alt code tables, and a map of what the Mac Option key types.

## Where the shortcuts come from

Every sheet was checked in October 2026 against the maker's own documentation: Apple's Mac keyboard shortcuts guides, Microsoft's Windows 11 list, Google's help pages for Chrome and Docs, and Microsoft's printable references for VS Code's default keybindings. Each sheet links to its sources. Only shortcuts those sources list are included, and shortcuts that need a recent version say so.

The character tables are generated, not typed by hand: names and HTML entities come from the Unicode Character Database, the Alt code tables from the Windows-1252 and code page 437 mappings, and the Option key characters were read from the U.S. keyboard layout on macOS itself.

## How it works

Everything runs in your browser. The shortcut lists are part of the page, so searching, filtering and copying happen on your device and nothing you type is sent anywhere. The site keeps a few preferences, such as your platform and colour theme, in your browser's local storage. See the [privacy page](https://tinyshortcuts.click/privacy/) for exactly what that means.

Shortcuts change as apps are updated, and apps or settings on your computer can override them. If a key combination behaves differently for you, the app's own settings or menus have the final word.
