Everyone uses keyboard shortcuts on a Mac, no matter what kind of activity it involves. However, each application allows you to use so many of them that only an expert in the given program can remember them all. For everyone else, the CheatSheet application is useful, which will show you all the available keyboard shortcuts in an instant...

CheatSheet by Stefan Fürst is such a simple application that it couldn't possibly be simpler, but it is still quite a powerful helper. It can only do one thing - by holding down the CMD key, it displays a list of all keyboard shortcuts in the currently open application.

Shortcuts are sorted according to the pattern of items in the upper menu bar, and you can call them up either by pressing the appropriate keys on the keyboard, or by selecting and activating a certain shortcut with the mouse.

Bottom line, this is all CheatSheet can do. The advantage is that the application does not bother you in the dock or in the menu bar, so you practically do not even know that it is running. You'll only know it when you hold down CMD and a list of keyboard shortcuts pops up. The only thing you can set in the CheatSheet (in the lower right corner of the overview) is the time you have to hold CMD, and you can also print the shortcuts.

The appearance that CheatSheet can't do anything is definitely deceiving, because for those who prefer to use the keyboard rather than the mouse (touchpad), this application will certainly help. And since it takes up virtually no memory or space, everyone can have CheatSheet installed "just in case". You never know what shortcut will come in handy...
