Quick answer

At the end of a session, review the commands you had to look up. Keep useful references visible and remove highlights or notes that no longer help.

Start with a real interruption

Recall a moment when you stopped to find a command. Did you forget its keys, its name or which app you were using? Record the action and app together.

Shortcuts differ between applications, and tools such as VS Code support custom bindings. A string of symbols without an action or app name can become difficult to interpret later. Use a real task to decide what belongs in your reference.

Check the current binding

  1. Inspect the command in the app’s menu or shortcut editor. Keep the review small enough to read comfortably in a short pause.
  2. In KeyboardShortcuts.pro, click the command’s row to highlight it in place. The row stays in its category, and clicking does not run it. On paper, write the application beside the action. Leave poorly understood or rarely used commands out of the immediate shortlist.

Remove references you no longer use

A different project may need different commands. Clear a highlight or update a note when it stops helping, rather than treating every addition as permanent.

Check old notes after an application update or a binding change. Keep a link or route back to the current source. This is a suggested review habit, not a score, streak or automated coaching feature, and it does not promise a particular learning or speed improvement.
