   - Shift+Tab (`window.panels`) shows and hides the dock and the floating panels and leaves the toolbar and the Control bar as they are; hiding the panels with Tab or Shift+Tab also closes a panel popped out of the icon column.
   - The second Tab (`window.dock`) shows again only the bars the first Tab hid, after a restart too: a Control bar that was off stays off, a toolbar hidden with Window › Tools stays hidden, and panels shown with Shift+Tab in between stay shown.
   - Cmd/Ctrl+A follows the keyboard: in a panel, dialog or search field it selects the field's text, while the Type tool edits it selects all of that text (also `select.all` over MCP), and only otherwise every object. On macOS the menu bar's Select All, Cut, Copy and Paste (keys or clicks) act on a focused field too, and elsewhere the in-window menus' do: the field that had the keyboard when the menu opened gets them, with its selection, and the keyboard back (#516). Not yet: Select All across threaded frames (one frame's text is selected).
-  - While the Type tool edits text, a character typed with AltGr is typed and runs no command. Firefox on Windows reports AltGr as Ctrl and Alt held, so in the web build AltGr+L (ł on a Polish layout) does not also run New Layer, and AltGr+Q (@ on a German layout) does not also run Reset Tracking and Kerning.

   - With the Artboard tool, Cmd/Ctrl+A after a click on a row of the Artboards panel selects every artboard, as the macOS menu bar's Select All does then; the active artboard stays active, and the art's selection does not change. After a press outside the panel's list, Cmd/Ctrl+A selects every object again. It used to select every object after a click in the panel too.

   - Cmd/Ctrl+/ (`appearance.addFill`) and Cmd/Ctrl+Alt+/ (`appearance.addStroke`) add a new fill and a new stroke to the selected objects, as the Appearance panel's Add New Fill and Add New Stroke buttons do, on the keys the reference app's [Default keyboard shortcuts](https://web.archive.org/web/20260726060015/https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/default-keyboard-shortcuts.html) page lists for "Add new fill" and "Add new stroke".
