Overview of the most important Google Docs shortcuts

Google Docs is part of everyday life for many companies. The collaborative word processing program G Suite allows you to edit text anywhere, anytime. If, for example, you have to modify a text but you are away from the office or home, you only need a Google account and an Internet connection..

One of the prominent features of Google Docs is link enablement , which allows you to invite as many people as you like to access a document. You decide at all times who can edit the text and which users can only read it. Modifications and comments are visible to all participants, so no information is lost and files no longer have to be emailed.

In addition, Google Docs has a large number of shortcuts that go far beyond the well-known copy and paste functions. We have compiled the most common Google Docs shortcuts for Windows and Mac users and show you how to access the Google Docs key combination overview with just a few clicks..
