Q4 Shortcuts: Keyboard Shortcuts

Introduction

Since there are lots of different devices, apps, and operating systems (OS), the fastest way to figure out the shortcuts for your device is to do a quick search.

While completing the next activity, in your web browser, try search prompts like:

• “How do I…?”
• “What are the keyboard shortcuts for [your device/app]?

KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS ACTIVITY

Step 2. Complete the table in the document. 

• Think about other things that you do a lot on your computer.  If that action is not listed in the table, add it in the blank spaces.

Step 3. Compare your results as a class or with a partner (check with your teacher).

• Are there some shortcuts that others in the class have that you do not?  If you think you would use those shortcuts, add them to your table.
