About OBS Studio and its shortcuts
OBS Studio is streaming and recording software, and its keyboard is unusual here because almost all of it is yours to define: scene switching, starting and stopping a stream or recording, and muting sources are bound by you, not shipped as defaults. The commands it does ship cover the interface around that.
Because OBS hotkeys are user assigned and can work while the application is in the background, conflicts with other programs are common. Nothing in a list like this can tell you what a particular installation is bound to.
