Not really known but convenient Google Docs shortcut

Time saver shortcuts for Google Docs

Intro

I was working on a project with my team and at one point I said, “Oh, you can just press CTRL+H to find and replace.” My teammate was so mindblown so, I thought I’d share the time saving shortcuts I use on Google Docs 😊.

Define or find synonyms of selected word

CTRL+SHIFT+Y

If you check the “Display word count while typing”, a little box will show info on your doc as you type (lower left of your screen). You can choose which type of data you want to keep track with if you press the down arrow.
