Google Docs Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows 10 PC

Since Windows 10 and Office 365 come from the same developer, you may think
that nothing can beat the Office 365 suite when it comes to creating and
managing documents on a Windows 10 PC. While that may be true, Google has
now enriched its productivity suites with all the excellent features you
would imagine.

Now, the Google Docs suite - containing Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides - is
one of the easiest, standard, and reliable ways to create, collaborate, and
share documents online. What's better? Google Docs works with your native
Windows 10 keyboard shortcuts as well. As long as you are using an
up-to-date web browser to access Google Docs, you can avail of these
keyboard shortcuts.

Nevertheless, it seems that not many people are sure of these Google Docs
keyboard shortcuts. Therefore, we thought we would list out the most common
Windows 10 keyboard shortcuts for Google Docs you need to know. Rest
assured, these shortcuts will improve your Google Docs, Slides, and Sheets
workflow like never before. At the least, you won't have to move your hand
towards the trackpad/mouse less frequently.
