This page collects the vocabulary, commands, and keyboard shortcuts that are worth committing to muscle memory. Keep it open in a browser tab (or printed beside your keyboard) during your first few weeks with Claude Code. Most of the friction new users hit comes from not knowing a command already exists for what they are trying to do, so a quick scan here before reaching for a workaround usually pays off.
