How to Use Simple Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows
1. Go to Microsoft's keyboard shortcuts page or find the shortcuts in Windows itself. The latter is done by clicking on the "Start" tab on the bottom of your screen. In the Start window, click on "Help and Support."
In the "Help and Support Center" window, search for "keyboard shortcuts." Open "keyboard Windows shortcuts overview."
2. To use most of the keyboard commands in the list, you'll need to hold down the first key in the command string and then press the second key in the command string. Note that the first key in the command is most often either Control ("Ctrl"), Alt, or the Windows logo key (the checkered flag) if you own a Microsoft-specific keyboard.
3. While Control-C for copy and Control-P for print are some of the most commonly known Windows keyboard shortcut commands, lesser known valuable commands include Control-Escape to display the Start menu; ALT-Tab to immediately switch to another open file; Windows logo-D to minimize all open windows and display the desktop only.
Of all the shortcuts, Control commands are most often used. Commands that use the Windows logo key are known as natural keyboard shortcuts.
There are also lesser known so-called hotkey commands that use the function keys (F1-F12) at the top of the keyboard. For example, F1 displays Windows Help and F2 renames a selected file or folder
4. Print out Microsoft's keyboard shortcuts list and keep it next to your computer until using these shortcuts becomes second nature.
