What does Ctrl+P do?

On ChromeOS, Ctrl+P opens the print workflow. Use it when you want to print in that application; other apps may assign the same keys differently.

Recorded actions and binding evidence

Also works in: Adobe Acrobat, ChromeOS, Microsoft PowerPoint, Ubuntu Linux, Windows, Cursor, Discord, Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, Notion, Obsidian, Sublime Text.

Context

Print dialogs and editor navigation can share these keys. The same combination can open a print dialog or an editor's file navigation. Focus the intended app and check the action before assuming that a document will be printed.

Use the binding for your application and platform. Custom keymaps, keyboard layouts and intercepted system keys can change the behavior you observe.

Practical checks

• Focus the application whose recorded action you intend to use.
• Check whether a custom keymap, keyboard language, browser extension or remote session intercepts these keys.
• Consult the application's shortcut settings and source links before choosing a platform equivalent.
