There are too many shortcut keys in Windows, but I used these commonly more than 10 years, hope this is helpful to improve your work efficiency. In fact, if used properly, it will greatly improve your work efficiency; besides, if you can use above shortcut keys masterly, then you can use Windows normally even if there is no mouse (except some games).
