While using internet explorer, when we use shortcut keys, our work will be done faster when compared to the job done without using them.

By using internet explorer shortcut keys, we can make our daily work fast and easy while working with laptops or desktops.

By using alt, ctrl, and shift keys, these shortcut keys are used. It may sound a little strange and new, but when we observe the work, which is going on by using these shortcut keys and without using shortcut keys, we can understand the difference in how fast the working is going on with and without using them and also, we may realize the importance and advantages of using them.

Actually, our operating system already comes with short keys, like we can see suggesting shortcut keys when we go to that particular tool. The user can use this thing to know the shortcut keys. Also, another important thing is shortcut keys increase our productivity at the same time by decreasing the strain caused by repetitive things.

We have to encourage ourselves to use internet explorer shortcut keys to save our working time. Here, the important thing is we can describe shortcut keys as time saviours. Because we can save time when we use these shortcut keys while working, multitasking, or getting accurate and precise results, we can use shortcut keys. Multitasking, in a sense, does not mean doing multiple works at a time, but it means we do not need to follow a pointer to see what is going on, and we can do things semi-automatically by making our minds free from other things.

 Another interesting about using these shortcut keys is you can avoid using the mouse in some cases. Like, there is no need to go to that particular thing and enable the thing to do its respective work using the mouse. As a substitute, we can use the specific shortcut key of it and can avoid using the mouse.

To understand this thing better, let us take an example like when we are using the work for preparing a document or any other item which can be done with the help of Word when we want the particular letters in bold or underline or in italic we go to that specific tool with the help of mouse, and then we enable it to do the task. But, by using Ctrl + B for getting letters in bold, Ctrl + I for getting the letters in italics and Ctrl + U for getting the letters or sentences in underline format, we can do the same task by using these shortcut keys.

Other things, such as copying and pasting something, work in a similar way if we use shortcut keys Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V.

Shortcut Keys with Alternate Key

We have two alternate keys on the English – language keyboard. One of the alternate keys is left of the spacebar, and another is located right to the spacebar. In the simplified version, we can say that spacebar is presented in between two alternate keys. It can be used similar to shift and control keys. Also, this alternate key is considered a modifier key. When we use this alternate key in the combination of other keys like the alphabet, Shift, and control, it provides an alternate action or operation by taking input. Enabling alternate uses is the work of this shortcut key, so it is named alternate key.
