Questions

What is the Win key?

The key with the Windows logo, usually between Ctrl and Alt at the bottom left of the keyboard.

What is Cmd on a Mac?

The Command key, marked with a ⌘ sign, on either side of the space bar. Option is the key next to it, sometimes marked Alt.

A shortcut does nothing. Why?

Some shortcuts work only in certain apps, and laptop keyboards may need the Fn key held for F1 to F12. Check that the right window is in front and try again.

Rather not look it up at all? Key is a free assistant for Windows and Mac: say "turn on night light" or "take a screenshot of this window" and it does it in the real app. There are also plain guides for everyday jobs.

Or just ask Key

Speak to it or type to it. It opens the setting, changes it, and tells you what it did.
