Keyboard Shortcuts |
|
Your hands move back and forth from keyboard to mouse while typing and selecting commands from the programs you use. Many computer users find increased productivity by learning a few keyboard shortcuts that keep your fingers on the keyboard. Using keyboard shortcuts may also help users avoid or alleviate repetitive strain injuries associated with mouse use.
By holding down a modifier key (such as Ctrl) then pressing a letter key you can achieve the same effect as using your mouse to access a command from the menus. Many of these keyboard shortcuts use the first letter of the command they invoke, the majority of these will work in all your programs.
