Master productivity shortcuts for popular applications
Keyboard shortcuts are key combinations that perform actions faster than using a mouse. Learning shortcuts for your most-used applications can save hours of time each week and make you significantly more productive. This interactive trainer helps you memorize essential shortcuts for VS Code, Chrome, Windows, Excel, and other popular applications through active recall practice. If you want to improve your overall typing speed, try our dedicated typing trainer as well.
Instead of passively reading a list of shortcuts, this trainer challenges you to press the correct key combination when given an action. This active learning approach builds muscle memory much faster than traditional methods. The streak system rewards consistent correct answers, while hints are available when you get stuck. Developers looking to type code faster should also check out our code typing practice for programming-specific exercises.
Keyboard shortcuts reduce the cognitive load of switching between keyboard and mouse, allowing you to maintain focus on your work. Professional developers, designers, writers, and office workers who master shortcuts often report feeling more in control of their tools and less fatigued at the end of the day. For those working with command-line tools, our Linux command trainer complements shortcut knowledge perfectly. Start with the shortcuts you use most often and gradually expand your repertoire.
