Cmd+shift+/ - brings up help search to search through menu items. Huge feature to me over windows, Linux-based desktop environments.

Not exactly a shortcut, but I once made a gesture-driven shortcut app (https://thimblemac.com) - it’s been on hiatus the past couple years but have been wondering if there’s value in it for programming work contexts.

Cmd+shift+/ doesn't work in any app I'm running. Did you set that up yourself?

It works in every single app that I'm running.

Did you remap that key combo?

Nope, just checked my keyboard shortcuts and it's not listed.

ditto. no worky in chrome, vs code. In slack, it brings up emoji (which is pretty neat!). In Notes, it centers text.

OP grandparent meant CMD-?, and ? happens to be SHIFT-/ on US and international keyboards.

Holy, this is really good. I have been using an extension on alfred for this purpose, now I can get rid of it. Thanks!
