Table of keyboard shortcuts

From HandWiki
Short description: Computer keyboard keystrokes

In computing, a keyboard shortcut is a sequence or combination of keystrokes on a computer keyboard which invokes commands in software.

Most keyboard shortcuts require the user to press a single key or a sequence of keys one after the other. Other keyboard shortcuts require pressing and holding several keys simultaneously (indicated in the tables below by the + sign). Keyboard shortcuts may depend on the keyboard layout.

Comparison of keyboard shortcuts

Main page: Keyboard shortcut

Keyboard shortcuts are a common aspect of most modern operating systems and associated software applications. Their use is pervasive enough that some users consider them an important element of their routine interactions with a computer. Whether used as a matter of personal preference or for adaptive technology, the pervasiveness of common conventions means that a meaningful comparison of keyboard shortcuts can be made across various widely used operating systems.

General shortcuts

Many shortcuts (such as Script error: No such module "key"., Script error: No such module "key"., etc.) are just common conventions and are not handled by the operating system. Whether such commands are implemented (or not) depends on how an actual application program (such as an editor) is written and the frameworks used. Not all applications/frameworks follow (all of) these conventions, so if it doesn't work, it isn't compatible.

Some of the combinations are not true for localized versions of operating systems. For example, in a non-English version of Windows, the Edit menu is not always bound to the Script error: No such module "key". shortcut.

Some software (such as KDE) allow their shortcuts to be changed, and the below list contains the defaults.

Same as undo, when undo is exhausted, it redoes. Move the cursor after one or more undos, and further undos will be redos. Since version 28, also Script error: No such module "key".

Paste special
Select all in focused control or window Script error: No such module "key". Script error: No such module "key"., then Script error: No such module "key". Script error: No such module "key"., unlikely ever needed as most commands take an optional range parameter. Script error: No such module "key". means "all in focused windows" here so e.g. to copy all the text, use Script error: No such module "key".
Cycle through installed keyboard languages / input methods Script error: No such module "key"., Script error: No such module "key"., Script error: No such module "key"., Script error: No such module "key".

Script error: No such module "key". changes between languages while Script error: No such module "key". changes between keyboard layouts of the same language. The latter two display a menu with the currently selected input method highlighted, and debuted in Windows 8. Script error: No such module "key". goes through the list backwards. For the first two shortcuts going backwards is done by using the right Script error: No such module "key". key instead of the left. (not MBR)

Text editing

Many of these commands may be combined with Script error: No such module "key". to select a region of text.[notes 6]

In macOS, holding Script error: No such module "key". while dragging mouse can be used to invert selection, and holding Script error: No such module "key". can be used to select by rectangular area in some apps(These two functionalities may be combined).

In macOS, the text editing keyboard shortcuts in Cocoa text views can be changed or added by creating and editing related configuration files.[13]

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5 Highlighted shortcuts are from the list of "sacred" keybindings.
  2. 2.0 2.1 2.2 2.3 2.4 2.5 Requires full keyboard access active:
    Apple logo black.svg > System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts > Full Keyboard Access > All Controls
    Alternatively use Script error: No such module "key". to toggle this setting.
  3. Takes you to the "Switch User" screen when Fast User Switching has been enabled (enabled by default in XP).
  4. Shows task manager in Windows XP if the welcome screen is enabled. Otherwise displays an NT-style menu, with the option of launching the task manager; likewise for Vista.
  5. 5.0 5.1 5.2 5.3 5.4 5.5 5.6 5.7 5.8 On Mac OS, OS X, and macOS, the key commonly called Script error: No such module "key". is properly called Script error: No such module "key"., while Script error: No such module "key". is a separate key normally located on the numeric keypad or invoked as Script error: No such module "key". (mainly on keyboards without a numeric keypad).
  6. For the concept of "selected text" see also X Window selection
  7. In whole document (Script error: No such module "key".), substitute (Script error: No such module "key".) fosh by fish, don't stop at one substitution per line (Script error: No such module "key".) and ask for confirmation for each substitution (Script error: No such module "key".).
  8. 8.0 8.1 8.2 8.3 8.4 n is a number between 1 and 8
  9. 9.0 9.1 9.2 9.3 9.4 9.5 9.6 In Microsoft Windows, all shortcuts with Script error: No such module "key". followed by another key are language dependent. The Script error: No such module "key". combination opens the window menu, and the following key selects from the menu. As the menu labels (and their underlined hotkeys) vary with the Windows system language, the hotkeys are different for international versions of Microsoft Windows, and may change if users change their Windows system language preference. The given examples are valid for English user preferences/version of Windows.
  10. Needs to be activated first on some distributions.
  11. The WinSplit window manager application for Windows knows to emulate this behaviour.
  12. There is no single consistent shortcut for closing a document or quitting an application in Windows XP. In many multiple document interface applications, Script error: No such module "key". or Script error: No such module "key". closes a document and Script error: No such module "key". quits. In other applications where each document is in its own window, such as later versions of Microsoft Word, Script error: No such module "key"., Script error: No such module "key"., and Script error: No such module "key". close a document, and there is no consistent shortcut for quitting an application.
  13. macOS uses Script error: No such module "key". Close (window), Script error: No such module "key". Quit (application), and Script error: No such module "key". Force Quit (application); Script error: No such module "key". can be used to quit certain services or applications. Quit is closest to Kill.
  14. This can be set as Greyscale, Invert Colours, Magnifier and more in Ease of Access settings
