You can navigate the ribbon with just the keyboard. KeyTips are special key combinations you can use to quickly get to a command on the ribbon by pressing a few keys, regardless of where you are in Access. Every command in Access can be given by using a KeyTip.

Note: Add-ins and other programs might add new tabs to the ribbon and might provide KeyTips for those tabs.

There are two ways to navigate the tabs in the ribbon:

  • To get to the ribbon, press Alt, and then, to move between the tabs, use the Right and Left arrow keys.

    15 (Fifteen) Special Keyboard Shortcuts.

    The fifteen special keyboard shortcuts are fifteen (15) shortcuts every computer user should know.

     The following is a list of keyboard shortcuts every computer user should know.

     Ctrl + A: Control plus A, highlights or selects everything you have in the environment where you are working.

    If you are like “Wow, the content of this document is large and there is no time to select all of it, besides, it’s going to mount pressure on my computer?” Using the mouse for this is an outdated method of handling a task like selecting all, Ctrl+A will take care of that in a second.

    1. Ctrl + C: Control plus C copies any highlighted or selected element within the work environment.

                   Saves the time and stress which would have been used to right click and click again just to copy. Use ctrl+c.

    1. Ctrl + N: Control plus N opens a new window.

    Instead of clicking File, New, blank/ template and another click, just press Ctrl + N and a fresh window will appear instantly.

    1. Ctrl + O: Control plus O opens a new program.

    Use ctrl +O when you want to locate / open a file or program.

    1. Ctrl + P: Control plus P prints the active document.

    Always use this to locate the printer dialog box, and thereafter print.

    1. Ctrl + S: Control plus S saves a new document or file and changes made by the user.

    Please stop! Don’t use the mouse. Just press Ctrl+S and everything will be saved.

    1. Ctrl +V: Control plus V pastes copied elements into the active area of the program in use.

    Using ctrl+V in a case like this Saves the time and stress of right clicking and clicking again just to paste.

    1. Ctrl + W: Control plus W is used to close the page you are working on when you want to leave the work environment.

    There is a way Debby does this without using the mouse. Oh my God, why didn’t I learn it then?” Don’t worry, I have the answer. Debby presses Ctrl+W to close active windows.

    1. Ctrl + X: Control plus X cuts elements (making the elements to disappear from their original place). The difference between cutting and deleting elements is that in Cutting, what was cut doesn’t get lost permanently but prepares itself so that it can be pasted on another location selected by the user.    

    Use ctrl+x when you think “this shouldn’t be here and I can’t stand the stress of retyping or redesigning it in the rightful place it belongs”.

    U. C-Abel Books

    1. Ctrl + Y: Control plus Y redoes an undone action.

    Ctrl+Z brought back what you didn’t need? Press Ctrl+ Y to remove it again.

    1. Ctrl + Z: Control plus Z undoes actions.

    Can’t find what you typed now or a picture you inserted, it suddenly disappeared or you mistakenly removed it? Press Ctrl+Z to bring it back.

    1. Alt + F4: Alternative plus F4 closes active windows or items.

    You don’t need to move the mouse in order to close an active window, just press Alt + F4 if you are done or don’t want somebody who is coming to see what you are doing.

    1. Ctrl + F6: Control plus F6 Navigates between open windows, making it possible for a user to see what is happening in windows that are active.

    Are you working in Microsoft Word and want to find out if the other active window where your browser is loading a page is still progressing? Use Ctrl + F6.

    Is your computer malfunctioning? Use F1 to find help when you don’t know what next to do.
