A Keyboard Shortcut is a keystroke you can use to perform a task instead of clicking with your mouse on a button or menu option. Sometimes a keystroke can help you do something faster than taking your hands off of the keyboard and using your mouse to do it.
Often it will require holding down one key while you press another (e.g. holding down the Ctrl key which is usually at the bottom left corner of your keyboard while you press another key).
Here is a list of keyboard shortcuts for common tasks. A lot of these are universal, but many of them only apply on the order form for speeding up the order entry process.
