Forem supports keyboard shortcuts but discovery isn't the easiest. It's relatively common practice to make pressing '?' open a menu of shortcuts.
I know there aren't very many on Forem at the moments (Only three I can thing of off the top of my head) but perhaps with more discoverability people would suggest more that could be created.

Having a command palette like vscode would help.
cmd + pand go that commandI could see pressing alt + space or something opening a spotlight experience in the centre of the screen. Something like this.
EDIT:
Hmm, jsfiddle is not loading for me here's a link

I like the idea of having a searchable command palette, ctrl/cmd + p would overwrite the default print command which some people may use on posts (maybe?).
Yes it might interfere with print command but only when the user are in the page. I think it could be alt + space or ctrl + space .
....The
ibutton triggers the editor guide, but it seems like it could trigger help in general.But that would most likely just apply to editor shortcuts, but we have a broader sense of keyboard shortcuts (i.e. jump to search with
/)...I wonder if this could fit in with more substantial user-friendly guides in general... I could see a master-detail view that could help cover the broad array of advanced functionality of using a Forem.
