Keyboard Shortcuts
From ICHKWiki
Keyboard shortcuts are a sequence of buttons usually 2, 3 or sometimes 4 buttons long that make a certain thing happen. It would make you do things quicker than normal. For example, command and A together will highlight everything on the page and then you could use command and C together to copy it all. That would be a lot easier than using the mouse to select and copy. Don't do so, because that would basically be called plagiarism.
These are some of the keyboard shortcuts, which might be useful :
