I'm trying to figure out the differences between a few keyboard shortcuts: Ctrl+Shift+Drag, Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Drag, and Ctrl+M. Also, how can I create shortcuts for apps or folders on my system? Any recommendations?

You can also use the command 'ln' in the terminal to make shortcuts, though it can be a bit tricky. But the GUI method I mentioned is usually simpler for most users.
The shortcut keys are usually specific to your desktop environment (DE), not just your Linux distribution. To customize them, head over to your settings and look for the keyboard shortcuts section. You can see existing shortcuts, change them up, or even create your own by linking them to terminal commands for specific actions. It's pretty flexible!
Actually, if you're referring to app or folder shortcuts rather than keyboard shortcuts, start by opening the file manager (like Nemo on Linux Mint). Then, go to Edit in the top bar and select Settings. From there, check the option to "add shortcut" in the context menu settings. This lets you create shortcuts by right-clicking files too!
You got it! Just keep in mind that the DE you're using can affect how you set up these shortcuts.
