AI Analysis

●MidSolve My Problem

Yet another shortcut reference site when dozens already exist with identical data.

Strengths

•Search by partial key combo like ctrl k or cmd shift works intuitively.
•OS filtering lets you compare Windows, macOS, and Linux shortcuts side by side.
•Fast single-purpose design avoids feature bloat common in reference sites.

Weaknesses

•Dozens of keyboard shortcut reference sites already exist with no clear differentiation.
•Static reference data with no novel technique or automation beyond basic search.

Post Description

I kept losing time looking up keyboard shortcuts. Not dramatically — just the slow accumulation of opening a tab, landing on the wrong page, finding a forum post from 2018, and locating the right shortcut four minutes later. Annoying enough to build something.

hotkeycheatsheet.com is a searchable reference: 134 apps, 24,126 shortcuts, organized by category. Filter by OS (Windows, macOS, Linux) and search by app name, action, or partial key combo — "ctrl k" works, so does "cmd shift".

I tried to keep it fast and single-purpose. Whether that actually worked is what I'm most curious about — happy to hear what feels off or missing.
