Keyboard Commands

You will find reference to keyboard commands within the videos and text. The keyboard commands refer to the UK English keyboard layout. Keys for other layouts may not correspond exactly to the documented keys.

Where keyboard commands are stated, a plus sign (+) means that you need to press multiple keys at the same time. For example, ALT + F means you must hold down the ALT key and while it is held down, press the F key before releasing both keys. When a comma sign (,) appears in a keyboard command it means you press the keys in sequence. For example, ALT, F means you tap the ALT key and then tap the F key.
