Keyboard Shortcuts
More Information
Keyboard shortcuts are combinations of two or more Keyboard shortcuts online keys that, when pressed, can be used to perform a task that would typically require a mouse or other Microsoft Accessibility website pointing device. Keyboard shortcuts can make it easier to interact with your computer, saving you time and effort as you work with Windows and other programs. Most programs also provide accelerator keys that can make it easier to work with menus and other commands. Check the menus of programs for accelerator keys. If a letter is underlined in a menu it usually means that pressing the Alt key in combination with the underlined key will have the same effect as clicking that menu item. Pressing the Alt key in some programs, such as Paint and WordPad, shows commands that are labeled with additional keys that you can press to use them. You can also create new keyboard shortcuts to open programs. For more information, see Create keyboard shortcuts to open programs.
