Keyboard Shortcut Directory

A JSON directory of keyboard shortcuts, written in a consistent syntax.

Why?

Currently used to power cmdspace.io.

Formatting

keyboard-shortcut-directory uses a standardized, abbreviated format so that shortcuts are easy to type.

Keys

| Abbreviation | Meaning | | ------------- | ---------- | | cmd | command | | ctrl | control | | opt | option | | shift | shift | | alt | alt | | ret | return | | esc | escape | | del | delete | | ent | enter | | pgdown | page down | | pgup | page up | | space | space bar | | down, up, left, right | arrow keys |

Actions

| Abbreviation | Meaning | | ------------- | -----------| | + | combine keys| | empty space | then | | / | or | | - | through | | (...) | instruction|

All characters should be lowercase. Instructions are surrounded by space on each side. "then" will not be placed before or after an instruction. E.g. g p will result in "g then p" but cmd+g (then type what you need, then) p will result in "command + g then type what you need, then p"

Examples

Listed below are examples of formatted keyboard shortcuts and their translated meaning.

| Formatted Shortcut | Translated Shortcut | | ------------------ | --------------- | | cmd+space | command + space | | cmd+g p | command + g then p | | (Type a search term, then press) return | Type a search term, then press return | | e/y | e or y | | F1-F12 | F1 through F12 |
