About Sketch and its shortcuts

Sketch is Mac only and follows Apple's conventions closely, which makes its keyboard feel native in a way cross-platform design tools do not. Its commands cover tools, layers, symbols and the precise arrangement of objects on an artboard.

Sketch is Mac only, so there is no Windows column here. Plugins can add their own commands, and some bindings only apply while a particular inspector field has focus.
