Summary of the Pull Request

Adds a Shortcut Guide manifest for Claude Desktop (Claude.exe), covering
General (quick chat/search, incognito chat, sidebar toggle, keyboard
shortcuts, settings, open-from-anywhere) and In-chat actions (send, new
line, extended thinking toggle, file upload, stop generation), pulled
directly from the app's own in-app "Keyboard shortcuts" panel (Ctrl+/
inside Claude Desktop).

PR Checklist

Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

Note: the "Open Claude from anywhere" global hotkey (Ctrl+Alt+Space) is
included since it's shown live in the app's shortcut panel on Windows,
though I haven't found it documented on support.claude.com as of this
writing — worth flagging in case Anthropic's docs are just behind.

Tests/Localization/Dev docs/New binaries/Documentation: N/A — this is a
data-only YAML manifest addition, no code changes, following the same
shape as the merged Postman manifest (#48461).

Validation Steps Performed

Tested manually against a live build of Shortcut Guide with Claude
Desktop focused. Confirmed the Claude section renders with both
categories, and recommended shortcuts (Quick chat/search, Open Claude
from anywhere) are pinned at top. Screenshot attached below.

Pull request overview

Adds a new Shortcut Guide keyboard-shortcuts manifest for Claude Desktop so Shortcut Guide can display Claude’s app-specific shortcuts when Claude.exe is the active window.

Changes:

  • Added Anthropic.Claude Shortcut Guide YAML manifest with two sections (“General” and “In chats”).
  • Marked key shortcuts as Recommended to surface them in the recommended area (e.g., quick chat/search and open-from-anywhere).

No they don't. It's just not consistent with the other manifests, but it doesn't matter that much

Suggestion applied for consistency across manifests.
