keyboard shortcut
Quick command sequence
A keyboard shortcut is a combination of keys pressed together to perform a command that would otherwise require navigating menus or clicking buttons.
Common shortcuts like Ctrl+C for copy or Ctrl+Z for undo have become nearly universal across applications.
Power users rely heavily on shortcuts to work faster, and learning them is often the first step toward fluency with any software.
I've memorized the keyboard shortcuts for all my most-used functions.
