Quick tips for efficiency
Work across apps: These commands work smoothly across your standard tabs as well as your integrated applications pinned to the sidebar workspace.
Stay in the zone: It is okay to use your mouse, but you'll find that relying on shortcuts keeps your attention locked in place.
Context matters: Some universal shortcuts might act slightly differently if you are working inside a specific complex web application that uses its own internal command maps.
