Compatibility
Command + N and Ctrl + N work best in the desktop app. Browser shortcuts may be intercepted by the browser or operating system.
If It Does Not Work
- Make sure the app or browser tab is focused before pressing the shortcut.
- Check whether a system shortcut, browser extension, or custom keyboard setting is intercepting the keys.
- Use the menu path as a fallback when the shortcut is unavailable on your platform.
FAQ
Why do shortcuts differ between Mac and Windows?
Modifier keys, app versions, browser focus, and keyboard layouts can change the exact shortcut.
What should I do if a shortcut does not work?
Check whether the app window is focused, confirm the platform, try the menu path, and look for system-level shortcut conflicts.
Are these pages a replacement for official docs?
