KeyCombiner

As you use Windows, you'll find that there are loads of keyboard shortcuts that serve to boost your efficiency. What's more, most apps come with a particular set of shortcuts themselves, so memorizing everything can quickly become overwhelming.

KeyCombiner is a program that was designed to enhance your productivity by helping you memorize those shortcuts: whether it's an app-related one or a Windows hotkey, this software will make it easier for you to recall.

The dashboard of this app features a valuable tool to help you learn and exercise: the Practice tool. It will run you through the essential Windows hotkeys to test your knowledge while jotting down your performance. Based on your results, the app will suggest that you practice the key combinations you had problems with.

The Essential list — which comes pre-installed with the app — contains Windows-related hotkeys and groups them into categories. For instance, we noticed that we had trouble recalling some basic editing ones, such as lacking the knowledge that the Redo function was accessible through CTRL+Y.

The Collection function is meant to aggregate the keys of importance into a list. You can make your own and personalize it, adding whichever shortcuts you desire, or you can head over to the Public Collections tab and import what's relevant for your use case.

There are lists for IDEs and Editors like PyCharm, Eclipse, VSCode, and others. Shortcuts for JavaScript, HTML, Python, and other programming languages can also be found there. Browser-related hotkeys, such as for Chrome, Firefox, as well as for websites like GitLab, GitHub, Notion, Twitter, Google Drive, and others, also have distinct public collections.

The app has a global shortcut that you can press to bring up a list of commands, and you can use it to search for the hotkey you want to use at a given moment. As for us, we imported a Firefox collection from the Public menu, which we were able to bring up whenever we felt the need to use a specific function in our browser.

KeyCombiner can be a great assistant to help you memorize intricate key combinations, so if you were on the lookout for that, this is a program you ought to try.
