Happy testing!

  • ALT+TAB = switch between running programs (windows in taskbar)
  • ALT+F4 = close running program or window
  • ALT+down arrow = open drop down list box
  • ALT+ENTER = open properties for the selected object
  • F1 = help
  • F5 = refresh current page
  • SHIFT+DELETE = permanently delete
  • SPACE = select radio button, checkbox or option
  • CTRL+ENTER = opens a web site that ends with .com after typing the domain name (example: type CNN in the address bar of your browser, then press CTRL+ENTER and this will automatically add http://www in front and .com at the end) 

  • * (star) = expands everything
  • + (plus sign) = expands current selection
  • - (minus sign) = collapses current selection
  •   TAB = move the the next control/link (this is handy for web site when your mouse doesn’t work - just navigate with tab and press enter to select a link)
  • SHIFT+TAB = move to the previous control/link
  • ESC = cancel
