There are a lot of ways to speed up your computing and make your life easier through the use of keyboard shortcuts. There are far more keyboard shortcuts than are worth listing but we’ve compiled some of the most useful for day to day life along with some pictures to help you find the keys if you’re having trouble.
To use a keyboard shortcut, you hold Alt, Ctrl, or Shift, or even a combination thereof, and press another key. Below some helpful combinations are listed, for example:
Ctrl + C: Hold Ctrl and quickly press C, then release Ctrl once the operation is complete
Ctrl + Shift + S: Hold Ctrl and Shift and quickly press S, then release Ctrl and Shift once the operation is complete
<aside> 📌 These commands should work whether you’re using Linux or Windows. If you’re using Mac, try them with the Command button instead of Ctrl.

You can click the arrows by each command to toggle down an image of where the keys are found on a standard English keyboard.
