Windows 11 keyboard shortcuts let you open apps, manage windows, and edit text without reaching for the mouse. Most of them combine the Windows key, Ctrl, Alt, or Shift with a letter, number, or arrow key. This article covers the most useful Windows 11 shortcut keys and the keyboard options that make them easier to use.
- Open Settings → Accessibility → Keyboard and turn on Underline access keys to see which letters trigger menu commands.

- If an accessibility prompt keeps appearing, turn off its keyboard shortcut on that page.
