Does this shortcut work the same way in every app?

No. The listed contexts include macOS Sonoma, Ubuntu Linux 24.04 LTS, ChromeOS Flex / Stable, Microsoft Word, Photoshop, Notion, Microsoft Teams, Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft Outlook, IntelliJ IDEA, Discord, Obsidian, Microsoft Edge, Google Meet. 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.

What should I use on a Mac?

Use a macOS binding shown in the table, if one is recorded for your task and application. This page does not assume that replacing Ctrl with Cmd produces a working Mac shortcut.
