Introduction

As Described before in a previous post, keyboard shortcuts are keys or combinations of keys that provide an alternative way to do a task that you would typically do with a mouse or be accessible only through a menu.
These shortcuts can speed up the common operations by reducing input sequences to a few keystrokes.
