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