1. Use Alt + underlined character to select a menu.
Or
Press F10 to toggle menu mode. (Choose your method!)
2. Press the underlined character to select an item on a menu.
3. Use the first letter to select file names from a list (e.g., in
Windows Explorer, on desktop, in folders.) This is often the fastest way
to move around a long file list.
4. Useful key combos to experiment with: Tab; Ctrl + Tab; Ctrl +
PgUp; Ctrl + PgDown. Hold down these in combination with Shift key to
change direction.
5. Other useful shortcut keys: Spacebar; Home; End; Ctrl+ Home; Ctrl + End.
6. Task switching: Alt + Tab and Alt + Esc. The latter is not well known,
but indispensible.
7. "Delete" key often deletes an item.
8. Backspace key moves "up" one level in a directory tree. Works in
folders and with Windows Explorer. (See what I mean about lousy keyboard
interface? NOt exactly intuitive, is it?)
9. Press Spacebar to select an item, Enter to "double click."
10. Keyboard shortcuts that almost always work: Start menu: Ctrl + Esc.
Cancel: Esc. Exit: Alt + F4. Open, New, Save, Bold, Italic, Underline :
