Shortcuts.design is a small website that lists every shortcut a designer ever wants to know, all designapps in one place and in a simple and clear way. It's very usefull for beginning designers to quickly charge their workflow, when you switched to a new designtool or when you just want a reference for repeating actions!
Hey hunters!
I'm Michel van Heest, a second-year UX/UI designstudent. For the last few months, I worked on Shortcuts.design in my spare time.
Shortcuts.design is a small website that lists every shortcut a designer ever wants to know, all designapps in one place and in a simple and clear way.
It's very usefull for beginning designers to quickly charge their workflow, when you switched to a new designtool or when you just want a reference to see which shortcut to use for that action you have to do all day long.
I build this tool to charge my own workflow and to help the first-year designstudents at my university I teach to work with designtools to become better in the tools they're using; maybe Shortcuts.design can speed up your workflow as well!
Check it out at http://shortcuts.design !!
I'm open for any feedback, feature requests and AMA so feel free to contact me down in the comments or via Twitter.
Cheers! And please let me know what you think about the site ๐
Interesting project. BTW maybe you know how can I change shortcuts from Sketch. For example, I change hide/view layers to cmd+shift+v, but it doesn't work. Also, I change group layers from cmd+g to cmd+shift+b, it's definitely better for me, but all my changes are not working. WHY?
@d4nyll Thanks! I will think about it! In the meanwhile, you can always tweet or message me with feature requests or something else!
What was your exact idea with open sourcing it?
@d4nyll@michelvanheest you could use a google sheet for suggestions - if you structure the sheet well, you could have a way for people to submit their own apps and shortcuts for each category? kind of opensourcey so people can see what's already suggested ๐ค
@d4nyll@graeme_fulton Yes I was already thinking about that, a Google sheet or Trello board isn't that beautiful, but I will look into how to build it! Thanks for the suggestion though :)

@michelvanheest If someone wants to add a new app, or update a wrong shortcut, they can just make the change and send you a pull request. It's an open process - instead of everyone having to email you for every tiny thing. You may even get people to help you out with the other apps that you haven't gotten around to doing yet!
@michelvanheest Well done Michel. I am not a designer but thought that it would be useful to add a free-text search box aka a "shortcut to shortcuts" ๐Cheers.
Hey all,
Last november I posted about the launch of Shortcuts.design in here and a lot of epic designers are still visiting the website on a regular basis.
Everbody has done a lot of feature requests and I heart them! *Shortcuts.design is now open source, Windows-friendly and I added new applications!*
