The page also notes that some shortcuts may not work if you're using a keyboard with a non-English input, and that iPad users can hold down the command key to see all available shortcuts.

Additionally, the page provides a search function and a list of related articles, including "Text formatting in Asana", "Settings", "How Asana works", and more.

The page also has a section for "What it sounds like" which is a feature that allows users to use the Tab-B keyboard shortcut to enable the Tab-B hack from Settings.

At the bottom of the page, there are links to other Asana resources, such as the Asana Home page, Product, What's New, Pricing, and more.
