Maybe I’m just too stupid to figure it out. How do I know that to “jump to home”, I have to press g, release it, and then press h, but to “insert current time” I have to press all buttons Ctrl Shift . at the same time?
I looked at an old screenshot I took:
Apparently, there used to be commas or plus signs in between to indicate the difference. These no longer seem to be there. How can you tell the difference now?
Control, alt, and shift are modifiers. If you press and release them, in, say, your word processor, nothing happens.
If the key does something by itself, then you press and release it.
Edit: oh, but I get that the documentation should be clearer.
As a heavy shortcut user I instinctively get this… but it is fairly common in tutorials & documentation to write out commands like CRTL+SHIFT+B to make them super clear for everyone.
@Moin When trying gh I found there are 2 ways of doing so:
So it seems both ways are possible.
Thank you. Yesterday, I definitely had trouble activating the shortcuts. That’s why I would have liked some clear guidance on how they are supposed to work.
Maybe it is the combination of tablet, keyboard, and Firefox that causes the problem. Even a simple Ctrl + A didn’t work a few seconds ago, but now it does work again 
. So maybe this wasn’t me not using the Discourse shortcuts correctly but a problem with Firefox. I rarely use Firefox for anything apart from Discourse and I don’t use the keyboard on my tablet often, so it’s rare that I try to use shortcuts.
It’s also possible that choosing bookmarks for further testing wasn’t the best choice either. I am not sure if all the options the shortcut help suggests still work. For example, “next business day” still doesn’t work for me, while “later today” and “delete” work fine.
