Intro

Superhuman on Linux uses the same shortcut set as Windows, Superhuman documents both together as one reference, so every key below matches the Windows page exactly.

Ctrl covers formatting and compose fields (To, Cc, Bcc); Alt handles account-switching and copying a page link, to stay clear of Ctrl-based tab switching.

Linux-specific shortcut notes

No Linux-only bindings. Superhuman's own shortcut reference is a single "Windows & Linux" document; nothing here differs by distro or desktop environment in the vendor's documentation.

Desktop environment can still intercept a shortcut. As with any Linux app, a window manager or DE-level binding can shadow one of Superhuman's own shortcuts (Alt-based ones are the most common candidates). Check your DE's shortcut settings if one doesn't fire.

Printable PDF

The full Superhuman Linux shortcut list is available as a printable PDF, identical to the Windows list. Useful while you're building the muscle memory for the bare-letter inbox actions.
