Keyboard shortcuts in UiPath RPA Tool

What are the Keyboard Shortcuts?

Keyboard shortcuts refer to a task for invoking one or more commands by using a series of one or several keys such as CTRL+S to save a word document or anything else.

We can also do this by pointing devices or via a command-line interface etc., but using keyboard shortcuts saves a lot of time.
