keyboard shortcuts
Typed control combinations
Keyboard shortcuts are key combinations that trigger commands without using a mouse or menu.
Most involve holding a modifier key (Control, Alt, Command) while pressing another key: Ctrl+C to copy, Ctrl+V to paste, Ctrl+Z to undo.
Learning shortcuts for frequently used actions dramatically speeds up computer work.
I've memorized all the keyboard shortcuts for Photoshop.
