What Does Keyboard Shortcut Mean?
Keyboard shortcuts are combinations of two or more keys that can be used to execute certain tasks which would usually require a mouse click or some other type of input device action. Keyboard shortcuts provide a quick way to implement repetitive tasks which can be time consuming during a long typing process or command line programming. Sometimes even a single key can be used as an alternative to a function, thus behaving like a keyboard shortcut. The types and availability of keyboard shortcuts vary between operating systems, and the user may also be allowed to customize keyboard shortcuts.
Techopedia Explains Keyboard Shortcut
Keyboard shortcuts enable users to perform important tasks, commands and navigation using only the keyboard and thus eliminating the need for switching between the keyboard and the mouse or any other input device. Some of the most common keyboard shortcuts are the shortcuts used for cutting (Ctrl+X), pasting (Ctrl+V) and copying (Ctrl+C) contents or files from one place to another.
