I don't use a computer so can't check for accuracy but if these work, they'd be very handy.

I use my Chromebook most of the time. It has similar shortcuts but the keys are unique to CBs and the shortcuts are specific to CB OS. When I first started using a CB, it took me a while to figure it all out and I'm still learning more now.

I read where you can hook up a keyboard to a tablet & use shortcuts there too.

I use those. I also use a few ALT codes.
ALT 0176 you get the degree symbol °
ALT 0162 you get the cent symbol ¢
Press & hold down the ALT key while you enter the number.

They work and I use a few...but why memorize all of those when they are all on the Windows pull down menu?

I had these memorized when I was a secretary.
The ones that are imbedded in my brain are cut/paste/copy.
Thanks @Kachina624.
