Many users forget, or never knew about, about the keyboard shortcuts in Windows.
They go way back, but still work today. Not only do they save time, but they keep you from going back-and-forth; back-and-forth between the mouse and the keyboard.
You would be amazed at the number of times you do that in the course of using a computer.
If you click on the the File or Edit menu bar, you'll see them listed right by the commands.
Once you start using them, they'll be 2nd nature.
I'm sure many of you know what I'm talking about....

There's also the Right-click feature that does much the same thing.

It'll really reduce the excessive movement required by navigating with a mouse.
