We have listed the ones below that we use the most in our day-to-day work.(Ctrl = the control key, Win = Windows key)
F1 = Help
Win+F1 = Help about the Windows operating system
Ctrl+A = Select all
Ctrl+C = Copy selected
Ctrl+X = Cut selected
Ctrl+V = Paste what has been copied or cut
Ctrl+S = Save
Ctrl+O = Open
Ctrl+Z = Undo
Win+E = Launch windows explorerYou can also find your own favorite short-cut keys by looking at the pull down menus in most applications. As an example, if you are using Internet Explorer as your browser, go to the File menu at the top of the screen. Once you have opened it you will see a command such as Open, and next to it are the short-cut keys!
