KeyXL online keyboard shortcuts database
Including keyboard shortcuts for Windows, Macintosh and Linux
A keyboard short cut is a key (or combination of keys) that performs a function within a software program.
Usually this same function can be performed using the mouse but the advantage of keyboard shortcuts is that the hand does not need to leave the keyboard.
Other names for a keyboard shortcut are shortcut key, accelerator key, hotkey, key binding, key combo, etc.
Many shortcut keys consist of two or more keys pressed together. For these, the short cut would usually consist of an alphabetic or numeric key combined with a "modifier" key (shift, ctrl or alt,cmd, option or apple depending on your operating system). Some applications have the ability to create your own custom key short cuts to give you even more flexibility.
An example of the kind of function a shortcut key might perform could be to minimize a window in Internet Explorer or to copy a selected item in Photoshop.
Many people arent aware of the large number of keyboard shortcuts that can be used to perform actions within their favorite software program.
Conversely, there are also alot of people who are aware of how useful keyboard shortcuts are, but they find it difficult to remember which keyboard shortcut or hotkey does what function. (Thats where the KeyXL keyboard shortcut database comes in!)
Here at KeyXl.com our most popular list of keyboard shortcuts are Windows XP, Excel, Microsoft Word, Microsoft and Photoshop.
If you click on each link you will see a list of keyboard shortcuts for that application. As far as we can tell have the largest collection of keyboard shortcut lists found anywhere on the internet! If you find a site with more please let us know!
For a more detailed overview on keyboard shortcuts check out the Wikipedia keyboard shortcuts page. Wikipedia is a great resource (just like KeyXL!). Or for info on the computer keyboard itself try this Wikipedia link about the keyboard.
Our hope is that by using the keyboard shortcuts listed here at KeyXL you will become more productive in your daily work.
Also one final point, we are always looking for a new list of shortcuts to add to our hotkey database. If you cant find an application listed in our database its usually because we've looked but havent been able to find a list of shortcuts for that application.
So if you if have a list of shortcuts we dont have we'd be very grateful if you sent it to us (the file format doesnt matter - html, word, pdf, text).
