Shortcut key

A key or combination of keys that executes a specific function or command within an application or operating system. For example, the F7 key in Microsoft Word and most other Microsoft programs runs the Spell Checker. If a shortcut has multiple keys it will be written with all keys required to perform the function. For example, Shift+F7 (pressing and holding the shift key while pressing the F7 key) opens a thesaurus in Microsoft Word.
