In computing, a keyboard shortcut is a sequence or combination of keystrokes on a computer

keyboard which invokes commands in software.

Some keyboard shortcuts require the user to press a single key or a sequence of keys one after
the other. Other keyboard shortcuts require pressing and holding several keys simultaneously
(indicated in the tables below by this sign: +). Keyboard shortcuts may depend on the keyboard
layout (localization).

Comparison of keyboard shortcuts
Main article: Keyboard shortcut

Keyboard shortcuts are a common aspect of most modern operating systems and associated
software applications. Their use is pervasive enough that some users consider them an essential
element of their routine interactions with a computer. Whether used as a matter of personal
preference or for adaptive technology, the pervasiveness of common conventions enables the
comparison of keyboard shortcuts across different systems. The following sections detail some
of these comparisons in widely used operating systems.

General shortcuts

A note regarding KDE's shortcuts is that they can be changed and the below list contains the
defaults. Some of the combinations are not true for localized versions of operating systems. For
example, in a non-English version of Windows, the Edit menu is not always bound to the "E"
shortcut. Furthermore, many shortcuts (such as CTRL-Z, ALT-E, etc.) are just common
conventions and are not handled by the operating system. Whether such commands are
implemented (or not) depends on how an actual application program (such as an editor) is
written. Not all applications follow (all of) these conventions.
