Keyboard Shortcuts
You can speed up a lot of your daily tasks with keyboard shortcuts. These shortcuts are a great time saver and (most of them, at least) are very easy to remember. Here's an overview of keyboard shortcuts in Game Collector.
These keyboard shortcuts are a combination of two, and sometimes three, keys. They should be pressed in the order shown and be held down until the second (or third) key is pressed.
