  • F – Brings up the Find dialog box
  • I – Italicise the selected text – or any new text at that insertion point
  • O – Opens an existing document
  • P – Brings up the Print dialogue box in any program you’re using
  • S – Saves the current document you have open
  • U – Underline the selected text – or any new text at that insertion point
