EditTips These browser shortcuts do not work for all browsers. See your browser's help information for
more information. The Windows shortcuts are for 7 and Vista, but most will work on other Windows operating
systems. If you have a Mac, note that the command key is directly to the right or left of the spacebar and
looks like a shamrock. There are some things on your computer you cannot do without a mouse, but most things you
will be able to do. The Mac shortcuts are for OS X, but many will work on other Mac operating systems.
