How to view available keyboard shortcuts in every Mac app
Veteran users are privy to the power of the Mac modifier keys. Those special keys on your Mac's keyboard, like Command (⌘), Option (⌥), Control (⌃), and others, are most commonly used in conjunction with regular keys as feature shortcuts.
Frequently-used macOS commands have their dedicated keyboard shortcuts, many of which are the same across apps like copy/paste and undo/redo. Others are app-specific.
Memorizing regularly used keystrokes boosts your productivity and multitasking prowess, but Apple doesn't provide an easy way to view all the keyboard shortcuts in any given app.
You can, of course, view and customize some of the system and app shortcuts in System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts, but wouldn't it be nice if there were a better way?
