I will be the first to admit I don't know everything about computers. Luckily I have a coworker who does, and he also maintains all of our computer systems here at the radio station.

However, I have figured out an array of shortcuts over the years. Most involve the dreaded F keys at the top of the keyboard, just like the one I am working on right now. If you are using a Microsoft system the keys likely go all the way to F12.

Some early Mac computers went all the way to F17. In the past when shortcuts were all the rage some keyboards went up to F24, which is double the amount we currently use.

You can access all 12 extra key functions in Windows by pressing Shift and the F key to equal its double function key. For example, Shift + F12 = F24.
