Keyboard shortcuts
Keyboard shortcuts are a powerful tool that can greatly improve productivity and efficiency when working on a computer. With the ability to assign custom keystrokes to frequently used commands, tasks can be completed quickly and with minimal effort. This is particularly useful for individuals who rely heavily on keyboard input, such as programmers, writers, or designers.
Keyboard shortcuts have been around for decades, and most software applications come with a set of default shortcuts. Openblocks offers built-in keyboard shortcuts to help you work on the interface faster and more efficiently with improved controlling precision.
