Shortcut keys are really useful; they are keys that you press on your keyboard instead of using the mouse.
Often you might find it easier and quicker to use these shortcut keys instead of taking your hand away from the keyboard and fiddling with the mouse.
For example instead of clicking with your mouse to launch a new browser window, try using Ctrl + N instead.
