On top of system shortcuts, Windows 11 apps have hotkeys and shortcuts that streamline your workflow.

CtrlHelp is a straightforward app with two parts.

CtrlHelp shows a cheat sheet with all of the shortcuts available in an active app.

First, it’s possible for you to practice shortcuts in an interactive practice mode.

Searching the cheat sheet is also supported, making it easy to find a specific command.

Right now, CtrlHelp supports over 80 applications and 8,000 shortcuts.

I was so excited about the app that I asked my wife to see CtrlHelp in action.

I also like the search tool within CtrlHelp.
