In order to assign a keystroke or keyboard combination, mark the command with the mouse and then press the desired keystroke or keyboard combination.<\/p>\n<p>If the operating system receives a feedback, then the keystroke or combination can immediately be used for the desired function.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">More on software<\/h3>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/software\/74072-ubuntu-to-power-china-as-operating-system-reference-design.html\">Ubuntu to power China as operating system reference design<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/software\/73788-googles-chrome-and-android-systems-to-stay-separate.html\">Google\u2019s Chrome and Android systems to stay separate<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/software\/73772-google-keep-note-taking-app-revealed.html\">Google Keep note-taking app revealed<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Laptops often have special keystroke combinations for certain functions or commands<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":45,"featured_media":89047,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[36,1799],"class_list":["post-89045","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-software","tag-active","tag-linux"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89045"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/45"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=89045"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89045\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/89047"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=89045"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=89045"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=89045"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
