I think this article should mention something about chord shortcut keys, such as Ctrl+M, O or Ctrl+M, L in Visual Studio 2005, where a single keyboard shortcut is composed of two separate sets of keypresses.

From an Anonymous edit comment: "Topic is good but seems a bit Windows POV"

If the different Unixes (especially the Unix GUIs - KDE and GNOME) got their act together and standarized their keyboard shortcuts, I'd put those in too. The only one that I've seen that works consistently is the shift+insert to paste.

Addendum: I'd also like to point out that for the windows shortcuts I listed, every one of them work in every version of windows, except for possibly the minimize-all shortcut for Windows 95. --Raul654 11:21, 7 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Just added Control+A and Control+P (which I always like to call the prostate shortcut...) Lee M 02:25, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Hotkey programs for Windows

The best hotkey program for Windows I've found is HoeKey. It is designed for tech-heads though, something else may be better for easy but less powerful usage. ··gracefool |☺ 03:27, 25 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

== URL Link KeyXL is a non-functional keyboard and possibly a search engine spammer. Recommend deleting this link Egberts 17:13, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

== I note that hot key redirects to this page. Personally I think they are quite different, as a hot key seems to indicate a key combination that is not application dependant and often means that it does something not accessible via a menu (e.g. on old DOS systems Ctrl-Alt-Del was a 'hot key', but under XP it's a keyboard shortcut). Not sure this justifies a separate article, and don't have time to write it if so... Mjforbes666 (talk) 20:42, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
