Windows 11 includes a wide array of keyboard shortcuts that can speed common tasks and reduce reliance on the mouse. Many of the most useful shortcuts are universal across applications, such as Ctrl + C to copy text or files. Shortcuts fall into categories like productivity, accessibility, navigation, and file management, each aimed at streamlining workflows. Accessibility shortcuts assist users with movement limitations but benefit anyone seeking efficiency. Navigation shortcuts support multitasking by keeping hands on the keyboard. Regular use of these keystrokes can make computer interaction faster and more seamless.
Keyboard shortcuts have been a staple feature in Windows for decades, but most users only know the basics. At first glance, they don't seem all that useful since you can also do these actions with your mouse, but I challenge you to try them over the course of a workday; you just might notice a boost in productivity.

There are lots of different types of shortcuts in Windows 11, but the best ones save you time by replacing the need to click through different context menus.
