KeyXL online keyboard shortcuts database
Including keyboard shortcuts for Windows, Macintosh and Linux
A keyboard short cut is a key (or combination of keys) that performs a function within a software program.
Usually this same function can be performed using the mouse but the advantage of keyboard shortcuts is that the hand does not need to leave the keyboard.
Other names for a keyboard shortcut are shortcut key, accelerator key, hotkey, key binding, key combo, etc.
Many shortcut keys consist of two or more keys pressed together. For these, the short cut would usually consist of an alphabetic or numeric key combined with a "modifier" key (shift, ctrl or alt,cmd, option or apple depending on your operating system). Some applications have the ability to create your own custom key short cuts to give you even more flexibility.
An example of the kind of function a shortcut key might perform could be to minimize a window in Internet Explorer or to copy a selected item in Photoshop.
Many people arent aware of the large number of keyboard shortcuts that can be used to perform actions within their favorite software program.
Conversely, there are also alot of people who are aware of how useful keyboard shortcuts are, but they find it difficult to remember which keyboard shortcut or hotkey does what function. (Thats where the KeyXL keyboard shortcut database comes in!)
Here at KeyXl.com our most popular list of keyboard shortcuts are Windows XP, Excel, Microsoft Word, Microsoft and Photoshop.
If you click on each link you will see a list of keyboard shortcuts for that application. As far as we can tell have the largest collection of keyboard shortcut lists found anywhere on the internet! If you find a site with more please let us know!
For a more detailed overview on keyboard shortcuts check out the Wikipedia keyboard shortcuts page. Wikipedia is a great resource (just like KeyXL!). Or for info on the computer keyboard itself try this Wikipedia link about the keyboard.
Our hope is that by using the keyboard shortcuts listed here at KeyXL you will become more productive in your daily work.
Also one final point, we are always looking for a new list of shortcuts to add to our hotkey database. If you cant find an application listed in our database its usually because we've looked but havent been able to find a list of shortcuts for that application.
So if you if have a list of shortcuts we dont have we'd be very grateful if you sent it to us (the file format doesnt matter - html, word, pdf, text).

| Some General Tips for Switch to Mac From Windows 07/02/2008 06:41 PM |
|
Sales of Apple’s Macintosh computers have been growing much faster than PC sales overall, with many new Mac buyers switching from years of using Windows computers. For that reason, every month I get emails from readers asking about the differences in using the Windows and Macintosh operating systems. While the Windows and Mac user interfaces are broadly similar, they do have subtle variations in day-to-day use that require some re-education for switchers. And because there are so many fewer Ma

| Making Use Of Some Bookmarklets 07/01/2008 07:28 AM |
|
At heart I am a lazy computer user. When I want to do something on the computer, I either use keyboard shortcuts or I use a bookmarklet to achieve it. The last thing I want to do is go clicking around aimlessly for ages and ages……(zzzzz…..) But as the web has evolved, some bookmarklets have become redundant as their use has become integrated into the web browser. For example, a bookmarklet to subscribe to a RSS feed is no longer necessary because in Firefox, you can now subscribe to a RSS fee

| Rounded Corners - 205 (A little more affordance, please) 06/25/2008 11:21 PM |

Word of the day. Just added a new word to my vocabulary. Affordances. As in, “seeing software exlusively in functional terms also overlooks affordances“. iJustWorks. Speaking of affordances, two of my favorite new applications are KeyNote and Pages. I don’t do presentations often (not complaining, if anything gloating), so I don’t have much patience for ParallelsPowerPoint or its younger, somewhat challenged, cousin Impress. KeyNote, on the other hand, has this uncanny ability to read my

| Visual Studio Smart Tag Expansion Tip 06/23/2008 12:49 PM |
|
I used to find the smart tag really annoying in Visual Studio because it is such a small target to hit with the mouse. Silly me, trying to expand a smart tag with a mouse. When you highlight the tag with your mouse, it tells you that the keyboard combination of ALT + SHIFT + F10 will expand the menu. What it doesn’t tell you is that there’s a two key combination that will also expand it. I learned this one from Karen Liu of the C# IDE team who also happens to have a blog post with a nice c

If you are a ardent web surfer and you use firefox mostly for web browsing,then this article could be interesting for you. It is very common for a web surfer to open more than 9 sites in a firefox in the same window, it happens to me as when I browse through large number of blogs and web sites opened in different uncountable tabs. Switching across these tabs becomes more and more difficult when as number increases, so there a key board shortcut associated with each tab starting from left as c
