If you are using a device that is not a touch screen, keyboard shortcuts will greatly improve your operational efficiency when you experience the
Windows 8 Consumer Preview. Microsoft believes that the use of shortcuts will be more frequent in Windows 8 than in previous versions. Microsoft Windows team member Kent Walter has compiled a summary of Windows 8 shortcuts and created a chart that you can print out for easy viewing.
