Shortcut keys ABCs

Shortcut keys help provide an easier and usually quicker method of navigating and usingcomputer software programs. Shortcut keys are commonly accessed by using the Alt (on

IBM compatible computers),command key (on Apple computers), Ctrl, or Shift inconjunction with a single letter. Thede facto standard for listing a shortcut is listing themodifier key,a plus symbol,and the single character. Or in other words, "ALT+S" is telling you to press the Alt key and while continuing to hold the Alt key, press the S key to performthe shortcut.

In addition to the shortcuts listed on this page, users can find the shortcut keys to theirmost popular program by looking for underlined letters in their menus. For example, inthe picture to the right you'll can notice that the "F" in File has been underlined. You willthen know that you can press the Alt key and F to access the File menu (Note: Some

programs require the user press and hold ALT to see the underlined characters). Finally,as can also be seen some of the common features such as Open (Ctrl+O) and Save(Ctrl+S) have shortcut keys assigned to them.

As you begin to work with shortcut keys you will notice that several applications sharethe same shortcut keys. We have listed many of these keys in our basic PC shortcut keyssection.
