Keyboard Shortcuts
Keyboard shortcuts are combinations of keys that you press simultaneously to do specific actions. For example, from the Windows desktop, press the Alt (alternate) key, the Ctrl (control) key and the S key (the letter s), to display support information for the PC (including model number, serial number, and service ID). You will see this combination of keys represented as Alt+Ctrl+S. In Windows, press Ctrl+C to copy an item you’ve highlighted or selected, Ctrl+V to paste
a copied item, or press Ctrl+Z to undo the previous action. These shortcuts perform the same actions you can perform through menus, but save you time and mouse clicks.
