Computer Shortcut Keys

What Is a Keyboard Shortcut?
In computing, a keyboard shortcut is a set of one or more keys that invoke a command in software or an operating
system.
They are typically an alternate means for invoking commands that would otherwise be accessible only through a
menu, a mouse, or an aspect of the user interface. These shortcuts can expedite common operations by reducing
input sequences to a few keystrokes.
These shortcuts can provide an easier and quicker method of using computer programs. These commands are
commonly accessed by using the Alt ket (on PC computers), command key (on Apple computers), Ctrl, and Shift in
conjunction with a single letter.
