Tips for Learning Shortcuts

Start with Essentials — Most commonly used: Cmd+Enter (Run Script), Cmd+Shift+P (Command Palette), Cmd+S (Save), Cmd+B (Toggle Sidebar)
Learn the Chord Pattern — Press Cmd+K, watch for “waiting…” in status bar, then press the action key. Most portal tools and file operations use this pattern.
Use Command Palette — The Command Palette shows shortcuts next to commands. Search for an action to see its shortcut.
