AltPlusCtrl

Most shortcut sites do one of two things: they screenshot a keyboard with a handful of labels stuck on it, or they copy-paste a vendor’s own help page into a slightly nicer layout. Neither actually solves the problem, which is that knowing a shortcut exists and having it become automatic under your fingers are two different skills. AltPlusCtrl tries to close that gap by combining three things that are normally scattered across three different tabs: a reference thorough enough to replace the vendor docs entirely, a free tool that turns reading into practice, and a generator that turns your specific stack into something you can actually tape next to your monitor.

The reference itself is written with the assumption that Windows and Mac genuinely diverge — not treated as a footnote. Excel’s Alt-as-menu-key behavior on Windows versus the Lotus-1-2-3 legacy layer, the missing dedicated Home key on most Mac laptops, Chrome’s tab-switching conflicts with certain window managers on Linux — these are the kind of platform-specific quirks that get left out when a page is written once and assumed to apply everywhere. Every app page is written and checked per platform, with real gotchas called out inline rather than buried in a footnote nobody reads.

None of it requires an account. Browsing shortcuts, running drills in the Trainer, and generating a free cheat sheet all work anonymously — nothing is gated behind a signup wall, and the only place an email is ever asked for is the optional newsletter or the paid custom cheat sheet checkout.
