Practice makes perfect:
Learning keyboard shortcuts takes practice. The more you use them, the better you'll get at them.

Memorize keyboard shortcuts:
Try to remember the keyboard shortcuts you use frequently. This can greatly increase your work speed.

Use reference material:
If you forget the exact keyboard shortcuts, you can look them up. Most applications and operating systems provide help with keyboard shortcuts. You can also search the Internet for a list of keyboard shortcuts for your specific program.

Combine combinations:
Many applications allow you to combine keyboard shortcuts. For example, you can use CTRL+C to copy text and then CTRL+V to paste it. This allows you to work efficiently.


Customizable keyboard shortcuts:
Some applications allow you to customize keyboard shortcuts. Check the settings to see if you can configure keyboard shortcuts to your own liking.

The Windows key (Windows):
Windows keyboards usually have the Windows key (with the Windows logo). Pressing this key alone opens the Start menu. Pressing Windows + D minimizes or restores all open windows.

The Option key (macOS):
MacOS keyboards typically have the Option key (with the Alt symbol). Pressing this key in combination with other keys will perform various actions.

Check the menus:
Many applications display the keyboard shortcuts in the menus next to the commands. This can be a helpful reminder.

Productivity keyboard shortcuts:
There are special keyboard shortcuts that can increase productivity, such as Windows Key + Tab (Windows) or Mission Control (macOS) to switch between different applications and desktops.

Use online resources:
There are many websites and tutorials that list keyboard shortcuts for different applications and operating systems. These can be a valuable source of information.

Tip: ►►  QTP the keyboard shortcut master!






Remember that not all keyboard shortcuts are universal and may vary depending on the application and operating system. It's worth investing time in learning the keyboard shortcuts you use regularly, as they can significantly increase your efficiency.
