This document provides shortcuts for searching for different object types and commands in the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. It lists shortcuts for finding physical products, 3D parts, drawings, materials, and other items. Common search shortcuts include prd:, 3dpart:, drw:, mat:, and doc:. It also outlines shortcuts for top bar commands like Ctrl+C for copy and Ctrl+V for paste. Scene layout shortcuts are provided to zoom and navigate the tree view.
