Many of the shortcuts will be a combination of keystrokes. For example Ctrl + C means that you should hold down the Ctrl (control) key and press the letter “C”. The Alt and Shift keys will also be used. Use the lowercase letters, if using the shift key is need it will be indicated as “Shift”.
Page Navigation Shortcuts
These shortcuts allow you to quickly navigate around a web page, most with only a single keystroke in IE7 and IE8. Pretty basic actually, but once they become second nature they can save you time without having to reach for the mouse.

Keystroke shortcuts have been around for many years and IE7 and IE8 continue to utilize them very effectively. While it can take a little getting used to using them once you do they’ll become a real productivity boost. Also remember to use the three cut-and-paste shortcuts: Ctrl + C – copy, Ctrl + X – cut, and Ctrl + V — paste. Enjoy!
