What is the term for a key or combination of keys used to access a feature or perform a command?

• A. screentip
• B. key tips
• C. cell reference
• D. keyboard shortcut

Answer: (D)

A keyboard shortcut is a key or combination of keys that triggers a command or opens a feature quickly. It speeds up tasks without using the mouse. For example, pressing Ctrl+C copies selected text, Ctrl+S saves a document, and Ctrl+Z undoes the last action (on Mac, use the Command key equivalents). Screentips are small help pop-ups that appear when you hover over a UI element, not the actual command itself. Key Tips are the letters that appear on the ribbon to help you navigate with the keyboard, but they’re for navigation, not the core action. A cell reference points to a specific cell like A1 in a spreadsheet. So the term for a key or combination of keys used to access a feature or perform a command is keyboard shortcut.
