First things first, you can see the shortcuts by using a keyboard shortcuts!

Show keyboard shortcuts:
Ctrl/⌘ + M + H

A lot of them are actually very similar to what the jupyter notebook shortcuts with the variations of a Ctrl/Cmd + m as the prefix of the shortcut. I have made a conversion table below.

Note: There are some commonly used keyboard shortcuts that are not listed here because there are no such shortcuts set up on Colab. That means you can customise your own!

Let me know if you have any thoughts or comments. Happy coding!
