Shortcut

A shortcut is a keyboard way of carrying out an action within an application rather than using the mouse / menu system.

For example, in Windows based computers, the keyboard shortcut for making a copy is Ctrl-C and the keyboard shortcut for making a paste is Ctrl-V

Applications such as Photoshop or Word have their own specific keyboard shortcuts. It is up to the user to decide whether they are worth learning or not.

Quite often in a GUI menu system, the equivalent keyboard shortcut is shown next to the menu item.
