Does this shortcut work the same way in every app?

No. The listed contexts include ChromeOS Flex / Stable, macOS Sonoma, Ubuntu Linux 24.04 LTS, Windows 10, Windows 11, Adobe Acrobat, Google Docs, Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft Word. Check the table for each application and platform: the active window, keyboard layout and application settings determine which command receives the key press. An application being available on an operating system is not evidence that this exact binding works there.
