index img

A "Keyboard Commando" is a person who is highly proficient with keyboard shortcuts, commands, and other keyboard-based functions. The term is a descriptive nickname, not an official technical term, and refers to someone who can navigate and control a computer with speed and efficiency by minimizing their use of a mouse.

Characteristics of a Keyboard Commando:

Deep knowledge of shortcuts: They know and use a vast number of keyboard shortcuts for various applications and the operating system. For example, they might use Ctrl+S to save, Ctrl+C to copy, and Ctrl+V to paste.

Fast navigation: They navigate through menus, windows, and text fields using only keyboard combinations, which is often faster than using a mouse.

Efficiency and speed: Their reliance on the keyboard allows for a much more streamlined workflow, which is particularly beneficial for tasks involving a lot of text editing, coding, or data entry.

Adaptability: They are familiar with platform-specific command keys, such as the Control key on Windows and the Command key (?) on macOS, and can adapt their skills accordingly.
