FAQ
Does this change how Google Docs formats text?
No. It triggers Google Docs’ built-in strikethrough shortcut—nothing more.
Which shortcut does it use?
macOS: Cmd + Shift + X
Windows / Linux / ChromeOS: Alt + Shift + 5
Why not just use the shortcut?
If you forget shortcuts or prefer clicking, the toolbar button is faster and more visible.
Does it work on all documents?
Yes—any editable Google Doc where text selection is active.
