Extra keyboard shortcuts

I use keyboard shortcuts.

I wanted to document some of the ones I add to my programs, if only because I need to recreate them from time to time.

When making macOS shortcuts, I’m going to prefer ⌃⌥ as the prefix. Why? Because that’s the VoiceOver shortcut. Neither Apple nor other apps use it. And if I do go blind and need VoiceOver, I’ll have bigger fish to fry in the transition than worrying about a measly keyboard shortcut.

Browsers (Safari, Chrome, Firefox, …): ⌃⌥D — Duplicate Tab

I noticed that, if I’m using a site’s in-site search all the time, it’s significantly faster and easier to duplicate the tab and run a new search.
