Which application? This works in Microsoft Word, Microsoft PowerPoint, and many other programs. It has a similar function in Microsoft Excel. It doesn’t work in Notepad or Microsoft Outlook. (It’s up to each application if they respect a shortcut or not.)
This brings up a good point about consistency — I wish keyboard shortcuts were always universal, but sadly they are not.
