Shortcut keys allow you to quickly do a task by pressing a key or combination of keys on the keyboard rather than by clicking a computer screen button or a link. Most camera operators prefer using shortcut keys instead of their mouse.
In the tables below, the + between keys means that you press both keys at the same time.
