What is this shortcut page for?

This page covers 182 keyboard shortcuts for Anki across 8 sections: Browser, Edit, Editor, File, General, Home Screen, Reviewer, and Tools. It lists both macOS and Windows bindings so you can check the right keys for your setup.

Which sections are most useful to learn early?

Reviewer shortcuts are the ones you will use every single session, since that is where you actually study cards. Home Screen and General shortcuts are worth picking up next because they handle deck navigation and basic app control.

Do macOS and Windows differ in many shortcuts?

Most shortcuts are identical or nearly so, with the usual Cmd versus Ctrl swap. A handful differ more noticeably, so if something does not work as expected, checking the platform-specific column first is a good starting point.

Which sections are better looked up as needed rather than memorized?

Browser, Edit, and Tools are useful when you are editing or managing cards, but most users do not touch them every day. Keep those as reference and focus daily memory effort on Reviewer and Home Screen.
