Keyboard actions and access
Key names
Ifyou need guidance for a key name that isn't on this list, use sentencecapitalization and spell it as it appears on the keyboard.
Special character names
Becausespecial character names could be confused with an action (such as+) or be difficult to see, always spell out the following specialcharacter names: Plus sign, Minus sign, Hyphen, Period, and Comma.
To avoid confusion, it's OK to add the character in parentheses after spelling out the name.
Example Plus sign (+)
Use discretion. This might not be necessary for commonly used characters, such as the period (.).
![]()
To show a key combination that includes punctuation requiring use of the Shift key, such as the question mark, use Shift and the name or symbol of the shifted key. Using the name of the unshifted key, such as 4 rather than $, could be confusing or even wrong. For example, the ? and / characters aren't shifted keys on every keyboard. Always spell out Plus sign, Minus sign, Hyphen, Period, and Comma.
Examples
Ctrl+Shift+? Ctrl+Shift+* Ctrl+Shift+Comma
