About Postman and its shortcuts

Postman is for building and sending API requests, and its keyboard follows that cycle: open a new request, send it, save it, move between tabs, and reach the console when something comes back wrong. The send and save pair are the two you will use hundreds of times.

Postman runs as a desktop application and in a browser, and the browser version loses some combinations. The interface has been reorganised across major versions, which moved several commands.
