Inkscape
Show or hide guides
In Inkscape, the Vertical bar key will show or hide guides. The keys are the same on a Mac.
Where it works: Canvas
Inkscape accepts this with or without Shift held. On a US English keyboard this character needs Shift and the backslash key. The shortcut itself is unchanged.
