Reminds me of a typo that I was grateful the google group pointed out, but it persisted in the URL until google sites changed recently and I was finally able to edit the URL.

About this day 12 years ago I wrote,

"We have a nice list of shortcut keys on our website now.
https://sites.google.com/site/tinspiregroup/classroom-news/ti-nspireshortcutsexpeciallywiththecomputer
This also includes some nice tips."

Now the link is https://sites.google.com/site/tinspiregroup/announcements/ti-nspire-shortcuts-especially-with-the-computer

Attached is the shortcuts.tns file that I recommend as a Widget (put it in your MyWidgets)

Enjoy,

Nice list of Shortcuts, great for a more experienced user!  BUT as I have said since Nspire was introduced, it is not a good handout for a novice user. Nspire is a very intuitive machine and is best introduced with the statement: “Nspire is document based and menu driven” - best to let novices ask “what do I want to do” and use the doc and menu keys to “discover” what keys will help them do it - remember “if there are eight choices you can only be wrong seven times😩”. Once you are comfortable with Nspire’s intuitive nature, the memorization of key strokes is not crushing and Nspire becomes your friend!!

Well said.

Yes, I love how intuitive and menu-driven it is. I appreciate how the menus provide reminders of the shortcuts too. 

So many things are similar to a computer (ctrl Z = undo, ctrl Y = redo, ctrl C = copy, ctrl V = paste, ctrl S = save, etc.) In fact, some things, like ctrl Y, I learned from the TI-Nspire and made my computer use more productive.
