SHORT CUT KEYS & RUN COMMANDS

Short Cut Keys

What is Short Cut Keys ?

1. A special key combination that causes a specific command to be executed. Typically, shortcut keys combine the Ctrl or Alt keys with some other keys. In Windows environments, for example, Ctrl +C is used as the shortcut key to copy. On PCs, the function keys are also often used as shortcut keys.

Most applications come with some shortcut keys already defined. Many, however, allow you to define your own shortcut keys for frequently-used commands
.

Run Commands

Basic Run Command Information

It is accessible in one of two ways: through the start menu (Figure 1) and through the shortcut key Win+R. The dialog itself looks very unassuming, and quite user unfriendly if you ask me (Figure 2). Its main purpose, as you can see from the dialog information, is to open a program, folder, document, or Internet resource which Windows will then open.
