## Using Shortcuts

This document uses the following format for listing shortcuts:

Example:

Command | Windows Mac OS Unix/Linux
--- | ---
Copy | Ctrl+C Cmd+C

To perform a command, press the accelerator key `Ctrl` `Cmd` and the press the shortcut combination key `C` once (while keeping the accelerator key pressed).

Tip: The plus sign (+) means that you must press two keys surrounding the plus sign at the same time. If there is more than one plus sign (such as Ctrl+Shift+C), it means that all three buttons surrounding the plus sign must be pressed at the same time.

Abbreviations:

- Ctrl Cmd = Control Key Command key on the Mac OS Keyboard

Note: Some keyboard shortcuts perform different functions based on cursor location (focus). For example, if you press Home on Windows while viewing a web page, &brandShortName; will move to the top of the web page. However, if you press Home on Windows while the cursor is in a text field, the cursor will go to the beginning of the text field.
