Here's a list of Keyboard Shortcuts and Hot keys

Sean Cleary · Guest

Ok, I posted, then I checked. My fault.

This list may? need?? a few more, so from "DOS the complete reference"
(a very historic book) page 355, DOS command editing keys:

F1 next character
F3 whole line
escape cancels and erases command
F5 edit the current command buffer
F6 places a CTRL-Z end of file marker in a file copied from the CON
device

I couldn't understand the F2 and F4 entries, and tried using them to
edit a command, no effect.

From "Tricks of the MS-DOS masters" page 187:
CTRL-c aborts program if it notices Dos.
Ctrl-break abort the current program as soon as it calls DOS (stronger
than CTRL-C)
Ctrl- numnlock -- pause the entire system until any key except numlock
is pressed.
Shift-PrtScreen Print the display on the printer device
Ctrl=PrtScreen toggles echoing characters to the printer (may be
disabled by app)
Ctrl-2 double NULL sequence translated to Ctrl-C

Well many of these seem all too old.

I just passed the OS yesterday, and one annoyance during my studies
was that
neither book I used (Passport and All In One) had a list of all of the
important keyboard shortcuts. They were spread out according to topic,
but I
find a list helpful for study purposes. So I made my own list. Here it
is,
and I hope it is helpful to readers of this newsgroup.

And yes, I know the three fingered salute is missing. That is
intentional
because I figure that it is the first one all Windows users learn.
