Welcome
ShortcutShelf is a floating macOS utility that automatically displays keyboard shortcuts for the application you’re currently using.
Whether you’re learning a new application or simply need a quick reminder, ShortcutShelf keeps the most useful shortcuts only a glance away.
Built-in Shortcut Libraries
ShortcutShelf includes built-in shortcut libraries for supported applications.
Simply switch to a supported application and ShortcutShelf will automatically display the appropriate shortcuts.
Each library is divided into:
- Most Common – Frequently used shortcuts.
- All Shortcuts – Additional useful commands.
Selecting an Application
The application picker at the top of the window allows you to manually choose any available shortcut library.
Normally, the app automatically switches to the active application.
ShortcutShelf Pro
ShortcutShelf Pro unlocks the ability to create your own shortcut libraries.
With Pro you can:
- Create unlimited shortcut sets.
- Rename and delete shortcut sets.
- Add unlimited custom shortcuts.
- Edit and delete custom shortcuts.
Built-in shortcut libraries remain read-only.
Creating a Shortcut Library
- Click the + button.
- Enter a name for your shortcut library.

ShortcutShelf automatically converts these abbreviations into the standard macOS keyboard symbols.
