All business owners could use extra time in their day,
right? To help you be more efficient and save time while on the computer, we’ve
compiled a list of commonly used keyboard shortcuts for you. Keyboard shortcuts
are simply keyboard combinations that perform a specific command. For example,
instead of going to click File, then clicking Save, you can press both the CTRL
and S keys to perform the command.
| Function | Shortcut |
| Save | CTRL + S |
| Open | CTRL + O |
| CTRL + P | |
| Copy | CTRL + C |
| Cut | CTRL + X |
| Paste | CTRL + V |
| Undo | CTRL + Z |
| Find | CTRL + F |
| Bold | CTRL + B |
| Italic | CTRL + I |
| Underline | CTRL + U |
| Zoom In | CTRL + + |
| Zoom Out | CTRL + - |
| Select all items in current window | CTRL + A |
| Delete an item immediately without placing it in the Recycle Bin | SHIFT + DELETE |
| Switch to another running program (hold down the ALT key and then press the TAB key to view the task-switching window) | ALT + TAB |
| Minimize all open windows and display the desktop | Windows Logo + D |
| Find files or folders | Windows Logo + F |
| Open Control Panel | Windows Logo + C |
The shortcuts shown here are for Windows operating systems.
However, if you are using a Mac operating system, many of the same shortcuts
exist by using the command key in place of the CTRL key.
If you have useful shortcuts to share, please leave a
