About Airtable and its shortcuts
Airtable looks like a spreadsheet and behaves like a database, and its keyboard sits between the two: grid movement and selection as in a spreadsheet, plus commands for expanding a record, moving between views and searching across a base.
Airtable is a web application, so some combinations belong to the browser. What is available depends on the view type, since a grid, a kanban and a calendar do not share every command.
