Are you ever working along in Onshape and you need the shortcut map – and know there must be a shortcut for the map itself?
Well, there is. Instead of moving the mouse up to the help menu, you can hit Shift + ? and it will bring up the map of keyboard shortcuts.
You can then hit the ESC key to close the map again and continue working.
