Table of keyboard shortcutsFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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

Some keyboard shortcuts require the user to press a single key or a sequence of keys one after the other. Other keyboard shortcuts requirepressing and holding several keys simultaneously. Keyboard shortcuts may depend on the keyboard layout (localization).

Comparison of keyboard shortcuts

Main article: Keyboard shortcut

Keyboard shortcuts are a common aspect of most modern operating systems and associated software applications. Their use is pervasiveenough that some users consider them an essential element of their routine interactions with a computer. Whether used as a matter ofpersonal preference or for adaptive technology, the pervasiveness of common conventions enables the comparison of keyboard shortcutsacross different systems. The following sections detail some of these comparisons in widely used operating systems.

General shortcuts

A note regarding KDE's shortcuts is that they can be changed and the below list contains the defaults. Some of the combinations are not truefor localized versions of operating systems. For example in a non-English version of Windows, the Edit menu is not always bound to the "E"shortcut. Furthermore, many shortcuts (such as CTRL-Z, ALT-E, etc.) are just common conventions and are not handled by the operatingsystem. Whether such commands are implemented (or not) depends on how an actual application program (such as an editor) is written.Not all applications follow (all of) these conventions.

20. a b c d e f In Microsoft Windows, all shortcuts with Alt+Space followed by another key are language dependent. The Alt+Spacecombination opens the window menu, and the following key selects from the menu. As the menu labels (and their underlined hotkeys) varywith the Windows system language, the hotkeys are different for international versions of Microsoft Windows, and may change if userschange their Windows system language preference. The given examples are valid for English user preferences/version of Windows.

23. The WinSplit window manager application for Windows knows to emulate this behaviour.

24. There is no single consistent shortcut for closing a document or quitting an application in Windows XP. In many multiple documentinterface applications, Ctrl+W or Ctrl+F4 closes a document and Alt+F4 quits. In other applications where each document is inits own window, such as later versions of Microsoft Word, Ctrl+W, Ctrl+F4, and Alt+F4 close a document, and there is noconsistent shortcut for quitting an application.

25. Mac OS uses Cmd+W Close (window), Cmd+Q Quit (application) and Cmd+ Opt+ Esc Force Quit (application). Quit isclosest to Kill.
