Windows 7 Keyboard Shortcuts
If a command on a menu includes a keyboard reference, known as a keyboard shortcut, to the right of the command name, you can perform the action by pressing and holding the first key, and then pressing the second key to perform the command quickly. For example, if you want to open a new document in WordPad, you click the WordPad button, and then click New, or you can abandon the mouse and press Ctrl+N to use shortcut keys. In some cases, a keyboard shortcut uses three keys. Simply press and hold the first two keys, and then press the third key. Using shortcut keys reduces the use of the mouse and speeds up operations. Keyboard shortcuts provide an alternative to using the mouse and make it easy to perform repetitive commands.
New Keyboard Shortcuts
