Keyboard Shortcuts

A keyboard shortcut is a combination of assigned keystroke sequences used to run menu functions or certain operations in the application.  Some people find these shortcuts helpful to quickly perform frequently used operations or commands.  Keyboard shortcuts are optional, and alternate methods, such as using the mouse, are always available.

Keyboard shortcuts include the following special keys:  [ALT], [CTRL], [ESC], and Function Keys ([F1] through [F12]).
