\emph{Some keyboard shortcuts in this list may not be available on non-US keyboards or in Rich Text/vim/emacs modes. For example, some input methods on the Mac may use \keys{\Alt} (equivalent of {\setmenukeyswin\keys{\Alt}}) for accented characters input instead.}
\emph{Mac users may also want to refer to this list of common editor keyboard shortcuts on Mac:\\ \url{https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201236\#text}}
