Do you use keyboard shortcuts more than the mouse or vice versa?

Yeah, right! Let's throw out mouse and use keyboard only! Are we moving back to terminals and mouse is unusable tool? With metro interface it seems just so...

Wouldn't need a cheat sheet [or rarely] if Microsoft returned the Start menu.
I think it is even a hot potatoe at Microsoft. I left a commernt in a blog at Microsoft's blog site. They didn't even allow it to be posted.

Especially for putting the more crucial commands at the top of the list.
While I don't generally use shortcut keys beyond the usual cut and paste, and windows navigation; lately I have come to appreciate numerous others.

Great list, thanks.
Took the liberty to take your document and translate it into spanish, even though there's no official translation yet, changing those shortcuts that are usually different in spanish (e.g CTRL+A is CTRL+E in spanish versions) and freely translating those new elements we still don't know how MS will translate (e.g Charms Bar)

Full credits to you, of course.

I recently had to restore my computer to factory settings using discs supplied by HP. I need to know whether Internet Explorer installs a week after its been running and why i got a message saying it needs to be further installed, I am not sure of the wording since Its been a few days and I have been busy and didn't get back to it until today...Thanks

This says it all! Just what i want to do - install Windows 8 so I can learn 100 keyboard shortcuts "that will help you more quickly and efficiently navigate Windows 8 and its new Metro User Interface." Microsoft hits another pinnacle in "user friendly" interface development. ROTFLOL.

I think that there should be on the Block Screen aWINKEY app that gives you those 100 shortkeys instantly, it is nuts that you don't even see a HELP app on that screen, uncomprehensable

Microsoft patch that up........
My company just purchased a new computer for our secretary and it came with Windows 8 pre-installed. I can see how it's made to be more user friendly IF you have a touch screen, but overall it's just a headache. Not to mention, now I have to train all the staff within our company that gets a new computer and doesn't know how to use the system which is everyone, so luckily we're small. The reason I have to train them because unlike previous versions of Windows, now you have to use the keyboard in order to navigate to different places. Some things are cool, but I much prefer 7 to 8. The whole thing with dragging and "snapping" screens is just confusing to most people in my opinion as well, and makes it more difficult for people to learn how to use the system. It takes some getting used to, but I would prefer Linux or anything else over this. Come on Microsoft, at least bring back the Start button which was much easier to navigate.
