the mouse. For example, if you select Control+Shift+Enter as the keyboard shortcut for the button, users can press this
combination instead of manually clicking the button.

browser shortcuts. For example, F1 is frequently used as a keyboard shortcut to display Help. The Control, Alt, and Shift
keys map to the Control, Option, and Shift keys on Macintosh® computers, respectively.
