Shortcuts you have to know

ces raccourcis qui changent la vie

When we use a computer, we often have to perform actions that in the long run waste our time. Knowing the keyboard shortcuts is the best way to get more done in less time.

Learning key combinations requires an effort of memorization but you will quickly have automatisms that you will not regret.
