    Keyboard shortcuts in apps

    Windows 10


    Keyboard shortcuts are keys or combinations of keys that provide another way to do something that you’d typically do with a mouse.

    The following are common keyboard shortcuts in many of the Microsoft apps that come with Windows 10. This includes shortcuts for:

    • Microsoft Edge
    • Calculator
    • Game bar
    • Groove
    • Maps
    • Movies & TV
    • Paint
    • Paint 3D
    • Photos
    • Voice Recorder
    • WordPad

    In many of these apps, shortcuts are also shown in a tooltip if you hold the mouse pointer over a button. In others, pressing the Alt or F10 keys shows available keyboard shortcuts. If a letter is underlined in a menu, press the Alt key and the underlined key together instead of choosing that menu item. For example, to create a new picture in Paint, press Ctrl + N.

     

    Note

    With a touch keyboard, press the Ctrl key to see some shortcuts.
