Keyboard
shortcuts
Keyboard shortcuts help you save time
by allowing you to never take your hands off the keyboard to use the mouse. You'll
need a Standard 101/102-Key or Natural PS/2 Keyboard to use the shortcuts.
To turn these case-sensitive shortcuts
on or off, click Settings,
and then pick an option next to Keyboard shortcuts.
