Keyboard shortcuts can be a lifesaver in a time crunch. The ability to keep your hands on your keyboard rather than switching back and forth between it and your mouse can increase productivity.

Keyboard shortcuts are fast and efficient.
Some people may not care for shortcuts because they can be hard to remember; but once you get the hang of it, you realize just how much they can help. We’re not saying you will never have to use your mouse again, but you can definitely quit reaching for that mouse every other second and actually get some work done!
