Turning multiple mouse clicks into a simple press of a key or two may not

seem like a lot, but if you are an avid user of keyboard shortcuts you've
likely noticed just how helpful they can be. Although memorizing which
shortcuts do which functions can be a little daunting at first, it's important to
remember not everyone needs to know every shortcut. Learning and using
the ones that are most important to you is a great way to enhance
your Windows 10 experience.
