Description
I have discovered that some keyboard shortcuts do not work in Windows.
Also, some of them work and some do not, depending on the editor.
In this issue, I would like to make sure that all shortcuts work correctly in all editor instances in Windows.
This could include issues that depend on personal environments, so I would like to ask other Windows users to test this. 🙏
