10 Windows 8 Keyboard Shortcuts You Need to Remember!
Takeaway: There are 100+ keyboard shortcuts available for Microsoft Windows 8, but there are several you’ll want to remember because you’ll use them often.
In April 2012, Greg Shultz created a free cheat sheet of 100 Windows 8 keyboard shortcuts. That download contained just about every keyboard shortcut you could imagine. Those shortcuts are still valid of course, but if you are like me you can only remember a few Windows 8 shortcuts at a time, so you want to remember the ones that will be most useful.
So, while I highly recommend that you take advantage of the free PDF download listing of 100 Windows 8 keyboard shortcuts, I also recommend that you commit the following 10 Windows 8 keyboard shortcuts to memory, because you are going to need to access these features often and, for efficiency’s sake, it’s best to have them at the ready.
