Our Favorite Keyboard Shortcuts:
Using keyboard shortcuts is a great way to save time at your computer. They do the exact same thing as items on the tool bar, only faster. They work in most applications, in both Windows and Mac, and they work while navigating through the contents of folders where appropriate (like selecting and copying folder contents).
To use these basic shortcuts in Windows, hold down the "control" key and the letter associated with the action you want to take. For Macs hold down the "command" key (with the apple on it), and the letter associated with the action.
