Scrolling

macOS-like shortcuts for Windows

The goal is to reuse "muscle memory" when using Windows. Alt becomes Cmd, Win becomes Option, Ctrl is Ctrl

• Alt + C = copy
• Alt + V = paste
• Alt + X = cut
• Alt + S = save
• Alt + A = select all
• Alt + Z = undo
• Alt + Shift + Z = redo (in some apps)
• Alt + F = search
• Win + Backspace = delete whole word
• Alt + Backspace = delete whole line
• Ctrl + Space = change keyboard layout

Google Chrome

• Alt + R = refresh
• Alt + W = close current tab
• Alt + T = new tab
• Alt + Shift + T = reopen previous tab
