About GitHub and its shortcuts

GitHub's website has a keyboard layer that most of its users never switch on in their heads: single letters and short sequences jump between pull requests, issues, code search and the file finder. For code review in particular, moving between files and comments without the mouse changes how fast a review goes.

These are commands of the website, not of Git itself, and GitHub lets you disable them in your account settings. The set also changes as the site changes, and some commands only apply on specific pages.
