About Microsoft Visio and its shortcuts
Visio is diagramming, and its keyboard covers placing and connecting shapes, aligning them, moving between pages, and the view commands for working on a large drawing. The connector and alignment commands are what keep a diagram tidy without constant dragging.
Visio is Windows only here, and the web version supports a smaller set. Some commands depend on the stencil or template in use, since those can add their own shape behaviour.
