Using a smartphone, PC and any technology can significantly reduce the time spent in any activity. Since the days of MS DOS, when programmers used only the keyboard, so-called hot keys have appeared to make working on a PC easier. It will be useful for anyone who uses a computer to know about them.
Why are keyboard shortcuts used?
Hotkeys in Windows 10 or any other operating system allow you to activate any function in the blink of an eye. In a situation familiar to a beginner, he would go to the control panel, open a bunch of windows and after that launch the required utility, which would take about a minute or more. Shortcuts (or shortcut keys) reduce any action to one second.
There are times when a certain combination brings the computer out of a freeze. This usually does Task Manager. Another example: the mouse has failed, and you need to restart the computer. Not only can you use the arrow keys to switch to the Start menu and reboot your device, you can also press the combination and do everything in one click.
Besides Windows, many programs also use shortcut combinations to run some functions. For example, the Photoshop graphics editor has many combinations that can be changed as desired.
Basic and auxiliary keys
First, let's look at the main keys, pressing which, one way or another, can give some effect:
- ESC (escape)– the button allows you to exit the program or go back a step. Most often used in games and the computer BIOS subsystem.
- F1-F12– the buttons on keyboards of different models differ in functionality. They mainly contain options that can be activated without using a mouse, such as lowering or raising the volume, screen brightness, turning on Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. The keyboard should have icons indicating what the key does.
- Shift– is responsible for switching modes for printing symbols or numbers, as well as changing the language. Only works in combination with other buttons. When pressed multiple times, the so-called sticky key mode is activated.
- NumLock– activates the digital block located on the right (where the numbers and arrows are).
- Win(Windows icon key) – Press once to open the Start menu, but can also be used in combination with other buttons.
- Fn– the key is located only on laptop keyboards and is responsible for activating the functions contained in the F1-F buttons. You must simultaneously hold down Fn+F1-F12.
- Tab– allows you to move to the next menu item or indent the text.
- CapsLock– used to print any letters in capitals.
- Space (Space)– often used when printing text and makes indents between letters or words.
- Backspace– removes letters or words in the text from right to left.
- Enter– transfer to the next date or to the next menu item, activation of a function.
- Delete– is located on the numeric keypad and removes letters or symbols from left to right.
- End– pressing places the cursor at the end of the line when printing.
- Home– pressing places the cursor at the beginning of the line when printing.
- PageUp– movement of any page upward, as if the user was turning the mouse wheel.
- PageDown— moving the page down without a mouse.
- Insert– replacing the text located in front of the cursor. (If there is other content in front when printing text, it will be erased.)
- Scroll Lock– scrolling text up or down (often does not work).
- Pause/Break– usually not functional, but should stop the current system process, for example, some running program.
- PrintScreen (PrtSc)– clicking creates a screenshot of the entire screen content.
Windows 10 Keyboard Combinations
Almost all of the combinations below will work in earlier versions of Windows, but there are also some that were added only to Windows 10.
How to set up hotkeys
There are many special utilities that configure combinations the way the user wants. One such tool is MKey.
The application is completely free and helps you install any combinations, with which you can set the launch of many system programs and manage them. For example, the AIMP media player already has built-in shortcut functionality, but MKey expands it.
Set a combination to turn off the network, launch any utility or folder, manage the browser, and much more. All this will not be difficult.
You can download the program from the official website - http://www.seriosoft.org. 
Now the user knows what keyboard shortcuts are, how to use them in Windows 10 or any other OS, and set their own combinations using the software.
The Windows operating system is quite complex, but at the same time very functional. Many things can be done quite easily with the mouse. But it can be even faster to get to frequently used elements using keyboard shortcuts, bypassing all the menus and many clicks. Below you will learn about the 10 most useful hotkeys for Windows 10, which will definitely come in handy to speed up your daily work on your computer.
Win– a button on the keyboard with the Windows logo. By clicking it, the “Start” menu opens, from where you can launch programs, system settings, or manage the computer’s power (reboot, turn off, activate sleep mode).
You can also use it to find files, folders and programs on your computer if, immediately after clicking, you start writing the name of the file, application or folder.
Win+D– a combination that will minimize all open windows and show the desktop. A very useful combination if you often have a large number of applications open and from time to time you need to find something on your desktop, some documents.
Consistently minimizing all open windows or reaching to the lower right corner is not the fastest option. But pressing Win + D is very simple. Pressing it again returns all minimized windows back to the way they were positioned before.
Win+L- The easiest way to lock your computer is by going to the lock screen. If you urgently need to go somewhere, then simply click on this combination and a splash screen will appear on the screen, after which you will need to enter a password to log into your account.
Doing similar actions through the Start menu is far from the fastest way, but pressing the Win + L key combination is easier than ever.
Win+E– opens “Explorer”. I already wrote in the article ““ that I refused to use third-party file managers, because the functionality of the standard “Explorer” was more than enough to solve my problems.
So, to quickly launch Explorer from the keyboard, simply press Win + E.
Win+R– a combination that opens the Run window, where you can enter commands or program names to run. With its help it is very convenient to launch some rare applications or commands to perform some specific tasks.
For example, after pressing Win + R, entering regedit and pressing Enter, the Windows Registry Editor opens (by the way, if you use the Reg Organizer program, you can open it by entering three Latin letters P in this line - rrr).
Win + Tab– a combination to open an interface that allows you to switch between virtual desktops, if you are using them.
After clicking, a special screen opens that shows all your desktops and the applications that are running on them.
Win+I– opens a new Windows 10 settings window, which is designed to replace the old Control Panel, although this has not yet 100% happened. In fact, there are now two control panels in Windows 10 - new and old.
Someday this problem will probably be solved... But nevertheless, you can launch new settings in one click.
Ctrl + Win + ←/→– a combination for switching between desktops. If you use multiple desktops and want to switch between them with one touch, then this combination is for you. By the way, switching between desktops itself is done with very cool animation.
Depending on which desktop you want to switch to, you need to press the left or right arrows, along with the Ctrl and Win keys held down.
Ctrl + Shift + Esc- a combination that launches the Windows 10 task manager, which has changed significantly compared to Windows 7.
Now it is a very powerful tool for controlling running applications, programs launched at system startup, as well as monitoring computer resources. Very cool, visual and convenient!
Win + →/←//↓– another great combination that allows you to change the position of the active window on the screen with one click. This way you can arrange the windows of various programs on your desktop so that you can see their contents. This is a real lifesaver if you work with several applications at once or with several windows of one application.
If you press Win + Left, the active window will be located on the left half of the screen. If you then press Win + Up, the active window will be moved to the upper left corner (quarter) of the screen.
What are Windows 10 hotkeys for? This question can be answered unequivocally - for the convenience of working in the environment of this operating system. Judge for yourself, hot buttons allow you to speed up the process of performing certain tasks by reducing the user's actions. And not to be unfounded, we can give a trivial example when you need to quickly get to the desktop through a bunch of windows of running applications. In this situation, you can go the long way, minimizing each window individually, or use the “Windows + D” hotkey combination, which allows you to minimize all windows at once. In addition, there may be other reasons to resort to such hidden functionality of the operating system, such as the failure of the mouse, without which it usually becomes difficult for an inexperienced user to control their computer. We will look at what hotkeys exist in Windows 10 and what their intended purpose is in this article.
For a better understanding and mastery of the information presented below, we will divide the set of Windows 10 hotkeys into groups that unite them according to the type of tasks performed.

Below is a list of hotkeys that we think are the most important.
Fixing a Window in Windows 10
The option to fix a window has undergone minor changes in Windows 10, the same applies to hot keys. Windows can be docked on either side of the screen, just like in Windows 8, but you can now also shrink the window size to ¼ the size of the display, as well as open four windows at once.

Windows 10 Virtual DesktopSupport for virtual desktops in Windows 10 is nothing short of exciting—at least until you're an independent developer who writes a utility that does the same job! This is the same as having several additional invisible monitors. Each of the virtual desktops can have its own set of applications, while hot keys and wallpapers remain unchanged.

Windows key +Ctrl +Left – scrolls your desktop to the left.
Windows Key +Ctrl +Right – Scrolls your desktop to the right.

Windows Key + S – Launch Cortana with key controls.
Windows key + I – opens the Windows 10 settings page.
Windows key +A – opens Windows 10 notifications (Notification Center).

Shift + Left key – selects text to the left of the cursor.
Shift + Right key – selects text to the right of the cursor.
Ctrl+Shift +Left (or Right) key – simultaneously selects entire blocks of text, rather than individual characters.
Ctrl + C key – copies the selected text to the Windows clipboard.
Ctrl key – V – pastes text from the Windows clipboard into the command line.
Ctrl + A key – selects all text.
All of these hotkeys work in other text programs, however, these shortcuts are new for the command line.

All combinations are typed on the keyboard, where the Win button, or Windows, or Start, or Start is a key with the image of the Windows logo.

Benefits of use
Hot keys significantly speed up your work on the computer. If you learn them, then the time will come when interaction with the computer will come into the realm of the subconscious. That is, you don’t have to worry about how to call certain buttons or windows. Of course, everything doesn’t happen at once, but the more you practice working with the keys, the faster they will be remembered. There will come a time when you won't need to look at the keyboard at all. In the age of information technology, this is a very useful skill. Only specialized programs help you set up your own hotkeys, but is it really worth wasting time if there are already ready-made solutions?

Even though a mouse makes navigation and interaction easier, many users prefer using a keyboard. Why? Hot keys allow you to perform actions faster, without having to constantly keep your hand on the controller. If you're a keyboard enthusiast like us, then you'll love the new keyboard shortcuts introduced in Windows 10 for easy access to new features. Take a look at the list below and you will surely find several useful combinations that will help you in your daily activities.
Windows 10 Hotkeys

Pressing “Win + S” launches Cortana in keyboard input mode, which means you can enter a search query and Cortana will search not only on your computer but also on the Internet.
4. Win+C- This combination also launches Cortana, but in listening mode, not in keyboard input mode. This combination will be especially useful if you use the “Hey, Cortana” function.
5. Win + Ctrl + D- Adding virtual desktops is one of the most anticipated improvements to Windows 10. Using this keychain, you can create a new virtual desktop.
6. Win + Ctrl + left arrow or right arrow- If you use several virtual desktops at the same time, these combinations will simplify navigation between them.

11. Win+G- Game DVR feature is less known but is a useful tool for video capture. Using this hotkey, you can quickly open Game DVR and start recording. Although this feature is primarily intended for gamers, it can be used to record other programs. However, you cannot record the entire screen; only a separate program window is available for recording.

Of course, everything doesn’t happen at once, but the more you practice working with the keys, the faster they will be remembered. There will come a time when you won't need to look at the keyboard at all. In the age of information technology, this is a very useful skill. Only specialized programs help you set up your own hotkeys, but is it really worth wasting time if there are already ready-made solutions?
