About Microsoft Edge and its shortcuts
Edge shares its engine with Chrome, so most browsing commands behave the way Chrome users expect. What is particular to Edge is the set around its own features: collections, the sidebar, vertical tabs and reading view. Those are the commands worth looking up here, because nothing else in your browsing habits will have taught them to you.
Microsoft changes the Edge feature set often, so a command tied to a sidebar tool can appear or move between releases. Work profiles managed by an employer can also hide features and the keys that open them.
