Maximize Productivity With Shortcut Keys For Google Docs

 Advertisements

Shortcut keys can help to maximize productivity by working faster on applications. You save time as you need not to move your hand from keyboard to mouse. Use these shortcut keys for Google docs which is applicable on docs,spreadsheets and presentations.

These shortcuts are nearly same as MS Office keyboard shortcuts making it easy to utilize for users. My favourite is Shift+ right-click which displays right-click options so that at any time I do not need mouse.

    Sorry Ishan, there is no shortcut for subscripts in Google Talk.
    However, you can use keyboard shortcuts or text formatting (bold/italics/underline) in Gtalk.
