What most apps settled on for Create an issue
On Windows, C is the combination in 2 of the 4 apps here that document one. 2 apps go their own way on Windows, and the table above is where to find them.
Where the table is deliberately empty
1 app here publishes no Mac key for Create an issue, so that cell is left blank. A blank there is a gap in that maker documentation for Create an issue, not an oversight here, and it is never filled by converting the other system.
If the keys for Create an issue do nothing
The 4 apps listed here each decide this for themselves, so the first thing to check is that you are reading the row for the app you are actually in, and the column for your system. After that, check the app version, since create an issue is the kind of command makers move between releases. Report a correction
