Can we talk about the hidden grid shortcut in Figma that nobody mentions?

I spent 6 months manually drawing grids until a coworker showed me you can press Ctrl+Shift+4 to toggle layout grids instantly. It saved me at least 2 hours on my last website mockup. Has anyone else found other hidden keyboard tricks that changed their workflow?

Oh Ive actually seen people mention that shortcut before but its Ctrl+Shift+4 for layout grids on Windows and Cmd+Shift+4 on Mac not sure if that was a typo or just different defaults.

@stellag21 "not sure if that was a typo or just different defaults" - that part got me thinking, you ever actually tested both on the same machine? I tried ctrl+shift+4 on my windows setup and it pulled up grid options, but then another layout tool had a different combo completely. Makes me wonder if different software versions are the real source of all these shortcut mixups.
